Modeliste Creative – New Studio & New Logo!

New logo….New Studio!

I have just spent 3 days painting and organising my new studio, so finally I have a much larger space to make my video tutorials and a more inspiring space to run my upcoming pattern cutting course in May!

Not finished yet!

My downstairs studio was getting a little cramped, as I have a bit of an obsession with mannequins! Now all my mannequins and myself have more space to move around and be creative!

It’s important to have a range of sizes!
Plus my male mannequins have a space of their own!
They have more space!
Plus a better view!

Another upside is that I have a better view of the lake, garden, swim spa and hot tub!

If you would like to come and join me for a sewing or pattern cutting course, then contact me by email at:

onitnotinit@mail.com and I will send you the details.

Happy sewing and pattern cutting,

Nicola

Join Me In France For A 5 Day Pattern Cutting Course!

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.
