Pattern Drafting (Pattern Making) is a very important aspect of the Fashion Design Process, it takes years of practice to perfect the craft but with my Courses you will be able to grasp the principles and techniques and skills that you will easily incorporate into your existing body of knowledge.

If you've taken my other Courses: Pattern Making PART 1, and PART 2, and PART 3 , this Course is built on top of that, and will definitely elevate the skills necessary to perfect the art of pattern-making.

You will learn how to draft a Basic Sleeve using standard industry measurement. You will learn the terminology necessary to work with sleeves especially when working with other industry professionals, you must know the "language" in order to communicate what you want or what somebody else wants from you.

We will review the TOOLS used in Pattern Drafting, such as: Hip Curve and French Curve and Notcher. And of course Scissors, ruler, pencil, and Dotted Paper and Manila Paper for drafting purposes.
