Pattern Cutting Course
Join me at our beautiful restored farmhouse in rural France. Learn pattern cutting, or improve your pattern cutting skills, in an informal and relaxed learning environment whilst enjoying the French countryside and taking in a bit of French culture.
The course will take place from Monday 17th September to Friday 21st September, with arrival on Sunday 16th September and departure on Saturday 22nd September. All meals are included from dinner on the night before the course starts to breakfast on the morning of departure.
The courses are designed for a maximum of 5 people, to allow for each person’s individual learning needs to be addressed, so if you are a beginner or an advanced pattern cutter we can develop your skills further.
If you have a partner that would like to join you but does not wish to take part in the course, this can easily be arranged. Also we can arrange nights either side of the course as we understand flight days may be on different days from different parts of the country.
Course Plan
Day 1 – let’s see what you know and what you need to know.
This is an opportunity for everyone to review their skills level and to formulate an individual learning plan, to ensure everyone, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pattern cutter, gets the most out of the coming week.
Day 2 – let’s push your creative pattern cutting skills to their limits
Modelling on the dress stand, learn the skills of ‘French Moulage’ and allow your creative pattern cutting skills to flourish.
Day 3 – Pattern cutting for stretch fabrics
We live in knit fabrics; let’s take a day to understand how to create patterns for stretch garments.
Day 4 – Style readings
Test your skills and test my skills as you develop patterns for a garment of your own design, there is no better way to learn!
Day 5 – The essentials you need to progress
Let’s take a look at grading and sizing and fit.
