Pattern Making

An ideal solution for perfectly fitting patterns, no matter what your size. Print out your patterns from your home PC on regular sheets of paper. Learn how to design and make your own clothes in no time.
The Pattern Making (Pattern Construction) course provides training in three areas:

1. Drafting: How to construct block patterns and pattern adaptation to develop your own styles ready for assembly.
2. Lay planning: How to lay out your pattern on your chosen fabrics.
3. Assembly: Basic sewing and assembly instructions.


he pattern cutting system has been available for over 30 years and has been tested and used by thousands all over the world. There is no limit to your design ideas! Learn how to create your own styles and how to bring your ideas to life. The full program for Pattern Making (Pattern Construction) contains three complete sections:
Womenswear Pattern Making
Menswear Pattern Making
Childrenswear Pattern Making

All three sections may be studied separately and Womenswear can even be broken down further into smaller sub-sections:
Womenswear
- Womenswear - Blouses
- Womenswear - Dresses
- Womenswear - Jackets & Coats
- Womenswear - Skirts & Trousers

You can study each sub-section as a separate complete course. In each section there are common parts, which is why if you choose to study only one section and then decide to study another section, you will benefit from a reduced price. It is more cost effective to register for the complete course rather than to purchase each section individually.

As an alternative, you can study the womenswear course at the same price but in 3 equal parts. This gives you the flexibility to "Pay As You Go".

The course is suitable for individuals wishing to develop these skills for a career, for those who would like to learn pattern making for their own personal use, and also for use by Colleges and Institutes of Further Education to supplement their curriculum and offer students alternative study medias facilitating the tutors job.
