Imagine what it’s like to be able to make designs for yourself or for a specific person/client.

This Course is for a large variety of “students” — firstly, it is for beginners who want to learn how to draft a Basic Bodice, and a Basic Skirt. It is also for intermediate designers who want to learn how to measure a body, or dress form, and draft a pattern to fit specific measurements. It is also for advanced designers who want to make “made-to-order” designs to fit specific customers.
