The goal of the program is to be able to design, sew and cut perfectly fitting clothes. Follow the courses in this order to achieve the potential of this course.
Start with the Beginner Class. Don’t think I already know this. “I am not a beginner!” Complete all beginner classes. It should be easy and fast if you are not a beginner.
Sewing
Learn to use the sewing machine. Gain control of it through the machine control practice. This way you will be able to sew accurate and neatly. Learn sewing techniques and build skill in them before applying them to your projects.
Cutting & Pattern Making
It starts with understanding measurement systems and how to take accurate measurements. You will use the measurements you take to create patterns for your clothing. The right use of the system will ensure that the clothes fit perfectly.
Pattern Making: Create Basic Pattern Blocks
These basic blocks are the foundation patterns for the clothes you want to make. They control the fit and structure of clothing. A good fashion designer should have a well-made set of basic blocks to create designs from.
The knowledge of basic block creation gives you an edge. It reduces your production time and makes you effective as a garment producer.
Patiently follow the course structure to achieve the goal of the course.
Repeat steps to achieve perfection. Repetition is the key to skill building. The more you repeat the higher your skill level.
