It’s so important that you understand why we do certain things while drafting. Because of this the course covers some really important beginner pattern cutting theory about how our patterns relate to our body and how the relationship between our 2D pattern and our 3D garment works.
Each technique is broken down into modules that cover the theory and some examples. Once you’ve got to grips with the theory then we look at implementing that idea or concept into our pattern cutting by drafting of a range of designs showing different ways that we can put the theory to work.
