Using the full scale and quarter scale block you will learn pattern manipulations including: Darts and dart manipulation, moving darts into seams to create a Wing seam and a Princess line seam. It will cover drafting techniques for necklines, armholes, facings, a button wrap a flat collar, a stand collar and 2- piece collar.
