Have you ever wanted to duplicate a favorite garment? This course demystifies patternmaking from garments, teaching you how to capture the fit and style of existing garments while keeping them intact. Moving sequentially from simple to complex, we first master the fundamentals with a basic T-shirt before diving into shaping and intricate details with a classic woven shirt. We will cover replicating collars, sleeves, and darts, all of which teach essential skills to replicate items like pants, coats, and dresses. You will leave with a finished pattern and the confidence to turn your closet into a library of sewing patterns.
