Description

Learn to design and create beautiful stretchy clothing in this six-week pattern design course. Stretchy garments such as T-shirts, leggings, bathing suits, bralettes, slinky dresses, and knit tops require specialized sloper blocks without darts to work effectively with stretch fabrics. This course teaches the specialized techniques needed to create dart-less blocks and design garments that move with the wearer's body while maintaining a perfect fit.

Classes meet once weekly for six weeks, with each session focusing on a specific garment. You will draft patterns using flat pattern design techniques and then sew test versions from stretchy muslin to validate fit and design. This hands-on approach ensures you understand how stretch fabrics behave. You will have creative freedom to add your own design touches and styling choices to all the garments you create.

Course Outline

Week 1: Pattern drafting dart-less stretchy knit bodice
Week 2: Pattern drafting stretch sleeve foundation
Week 3: Designing garments using the stretch bodice and sleeve foundation
Week 4: Pattern drafting dart-less stretchy knit skirt foundation
Week 5: Designing garments with the completed knit skirt foundation
Week 6: Pattern drafting a coordinated outfit using your knit foundations

Prerequisite

Flat Pattern Clothing Design 1 is required. Please bring your sloper patterns from that course to your first class session.

Supply List

10 yards of stretchy fabric for making mock-ups and samples
All other supplies needed for pattern drafting are provided in the studio for class use.
