Patternmaking is essential to learning how garments are created and put together, what is possible and what is not when it comes to designing a garment. This course is an introduction to flat patternmaking methods and concepts including drafting and fitting basic full scale blocks on a dress form (skirt, bodice and sleeve), slash and pivitol transfer methods for dart manipulation, and skirt variations. Students will apply learned skills using a half scale block set.
