- Learn why and how to change the pattern TO FIT YOU

- How to read commercial patterns and to read the layout.

- Learn to read the code, markings and instructions of the commercial patterns.

For our students who enrol in Patternmaking I or II, we encourage you to design your garment and make the pattern in your Dressmaking classes under the teacher’s supervision. So the cycle is complete: design… patternmaking. sewing

In Dressmaking or Patternmaking, we put special emphasis on Fitting. We do fittings for every garment. Our do a tissue fitting, and then a garment fitting in between. We teach you how to fit for real people.
