Learn how to design, construct, and sew your own garments, including pattern making! Begin by developing original pattern blocks, explore pattern drafting and draping, and then document your three-dimensional exploration with photography and/or drawing. Through visits to the Art Institute of Chicago and access to the Fashion Resource Center at SAIC in combination with research and sketchbooks, develop your concept and design from flat and paper patterns to final fabric construction. The class also utilizes a wide variety of materials to build concept and execution, such as paper, muslin, second-hand clothing, and fabric off the bolt. The work produced in this class allows you to reflect and expand on your own personal style and ambition while learning the skills to construct a garment from start to finish.
