PROFESSIONAL PATTERN CUTTING
Pattern Cutting for Skirts
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course forms part of our Professional Pattern Cutting Programme. It’s a great introduction to the art of pattern cutting. It is aimed at those wishing to learn pattern cutting techniques to gain skills to cut and make clothes to their own shape and size or to gain employment within the fashion industry or to use when making samples or to oversee the production of garments for their own fashion business.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
You will draft a Skirt Block to your own size or to a standard size 12. You will then cut and sew the block in calico and learn to make fit adjustments to achieve a perfect personal fit. Using the full scale and quarter scale block you will learn pattern manipulations to create a range of skirt features including moving darts, turning darts into seams and adding flare. You will then go onto learn other techniques such drafting pockets, a yoke, a facing and a waistband and creating frills and a flounce. You will then draft a pattern for a skirt of your choice to include seam allowances, annotations and all pattern markings.
