You will learn some of the special techniques that the top European and domestic designers
use in their clothing construction, fitting, pressing and much more. Stop making
Home-Made Looking Clothing, learn how to make them like the professionals.

You will learn how to use a tailor's quarter size square and to draft a professional quarter scale
pattern. Learn the formula used to draft a skirt pattern from beginning to end for Ready-To-Wear
and Custom clothes. Other patterns will come in the more advanced classes.
Stop wasting time and money on commercial patterns.

Let us teach you to make your own, and start designing a line of clothing that will fit and
enhance your body. Product and Development, a procedure used to help designers
improve and complete their patterns, will also be taught. Our pattern drafting
formulas are used by all of the top European and domestic designers.

You will start by drafting the pattern in the quarter scale and continue into the more classes
for the full scale pattern and create your sample garment. The sample garment is created
to test your pattern, after you have made it in the full scale.
