Working with our expert pattern cutter and from a creative pattern cutting book you will learn how to draft a trouser pattern to fit your personal measurements.
You will learn the difference between a draft, a block and a pattern, where and why grainlines and notches are created and how to make simple changes to a basic shape.
After creating the pattern you will make a toile from calico (or similar fabric), this will be fitted on you.
The alterations pinned on the toile will then be transferred to the pattern draft which should ensure any trousers you make in future are a good fit for you.
Following this we will look at the design of trouser you would like to make and manipulate your personal block to create the pattern for this.
If time allows your final trouser design will be cut and made in your desired fabric. Although please note you may not leave with a completed pair of trousers.
What you will learn:
How to measure your body.
Creating your own pattern block.
Understanding the terminology of the pattern cutting book which will help you develop more blocks and patterns in the future.
How to fit garments onto the body.
Manipulation of patterns to create different styles.
