Intro to Reverse Pattern Drafting
|
If you are curious about pattern drafting but too intimated by too much math, this is the perfect place to begin. Reverse pattern drafting is the art of extracting out a pattern from an already made garment. In this introductory course you will gain an understanding of basic drafting techniques. You will walk away with a final pattern that is true and ready to sew!
Ideal garments to use as an introduction to reverse pattern drafting include sleeveless tops, basic t-shirts, skirts, and dresses. Avoid garments such as pants, jackets, and items that are fully lined. Work your way up. Pre-Requisite: A good understanding of garment construction. You should have worked with either a commercial pattern or a studio pattern. You will be required to bring in 2-3 uncomplicated garments to consult on prior to drafting. Feel free to email us pictures in advance. Please ensure garments are laundered. Notes and drafting paper are included.
