Design Studio

Want to get your start in fashion design?

Then get ready to learn how to take standard slopers (patterns without seam allowances) and create your own fashion patterns! In this class, you will learn how to create basic patterns, dart manipulation, use the slash and spread method, and there will be time for you to explore personal design elements. The class will use standard size slopers for ease of instruction. This class does not cover drafting patterns from scratch.

If you have your own personal sloper, you may bring it and create patterns that fit you!
