Pattern Making & Sewing- II (Adults)

Class Description

Pattern Making & Sewing 2: Developing Your Pattern-Making Skills Take your pattern-making journey further at AARK Studio! Building on the fundamentals of flat pattern making, this course focuses on drafting and understanding skirt slopers and exploring how foundational patterns can be developed into wearable designs. Students will work through the technical process of drafting, refining, and fitting a skirt sloper while gaining a deeper understanding of measurements, shape, proportion, and garment construction. They will learn how small changes to a foundational pattern can influence the fit and silhouette of a finished garment, and apply their learning through hands-on pattern development and sewing. With guidance in a relaxed, supportive studio setting, students will strengthen their technical skills and confidence while exploring the relationship between pattern making and fashion design. Total: 6 sessions Materials: All materials will be provided. Bring a friend or sibling: Receive $10 off tuition for both participants. Note: There is no class on Nov 29th due to Thanksgiving weekend. Continue building your skills, one pattern at a time, at AARK Studio. The Pattern Making Series at AARK Studio Pattern making is a journey of understanding how two-dimensional patterns translate into three-dimensional garments. At AARK Studio, our progressive pattern-making series introduces students to the essential building blocks of garment design through hands-on drafting, fitting, and sewing. The series is planned as a 3–4 part learning journey, with each course focusing on a different foundational sloper: Bodice Sloper: Drafting the front and back bodice to understand fit and shape. Skirt Sloper: Learning the fundamentals of skirt drafting and developing variations. Sleeve Sloper: Understanding sleeve construction, shape, and fit. Putting It All Together: Applying the three foundational slopers to develop and create a garment. Each course builds on essential pattern-making principles, helping students develop the technical foundation to translate their fashion ideas into wearable designs. Students can grow their skills progressively, with the final project bringing their learning together through a complete garment. Class groupings and instruction may be adjusted based on enrollment to create a supportive learning experience for everyone.
