Pattern Making
Learn to design apparel via plat- pattern method.
Flat-pattern work usually starts with a basic pattern that fits a standard size dress form. This basic pattern can be a standard size or it can be altered to fit an individual.
Knowledge of flat-pattern methods is essential to the designer or pattern maker hired by a clothing company and is also valuable to the home sewer or custom dressmaker. Designers who work in the commercial garment industry, for pattern companies, or as costume makers for theatre companies will use flat-pattern methods extensively. Such methods provide a fast, cost-effective way of making pat- terns.
