Patternmaking and Construction: Above the Waist

In this course, students will learn to create, manipulate, and sew patterns for the upper half of the female form. They will draft a basic bodice using either their own measurements or by measuring a dress form to create a professional sloper. The course also covers how to create sleeves and collars. Additionally, students will learn how to manipulate darts, add fullness, and contour their designs. These principles will provide a solid foundation for each student's design work. Previous sewing experience is required. The SAIC ACE course Sewing Techniques: Fundamentals would provide you with an introductory experience.

No class on March 20th or 27th.

This class is taught by Jake Wobig.

Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, February 1st, 2027.

 

Registration will open soon.
