If you are already have good Clothesmaking skills and want to learn more about how patterns are constructed and can be adapted, then this introductory course is perfect for you- and will introduce you to the principles of pattern drafting. You will learn how to take and record your body measurements and shape accurately. You will learn the basics of personalised block making using your personal measurements to draft one or more personalised block, such as a skirt, bodice & trouser. Working at your own pace, you will then make a pattern & a calico toile (rough sample garment), accurately fit the toile to your body, and make any additional alterations if needed. According to your individual working pace, you will be aiming to complete a personalised block, a block pattern, and a correctly fitted toile- and to transfer your personal finished draft onto card
