Course Overview

This 6-week program is designed for beginners who want serious foundational skills in patternmaking and garment construction.
You’ll learn how to draft, fit, and sew two core wardrobe pieces:

✔ A perfectly fitted custom T-shirt
✔ A tailored skirt (A-line, straight, or box-pleat variation)

Through hands-on demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll understand how professional fashion studios create patterns, how proportions work, how to fit the body, and how to translate ideas into precise technical forms.

You’ll walk away with:

• 2 fully finished garments

• 2 custom patterns made to your own measurements

• A skill base strong enough to begin patternmaking on your own

This is one of the most comprehensive beginner patternmaking programs available in NYC.
