Location: online via Zoom!

This class will be a deep dive into the three fundamental principles of pattern-cutting: dart manipulation, shaping with panels and slash'n'spread to create and control volume. We will cover both how to do them (SKILL) and where to use them (FIT + DESIGN). A great refresher for those who've already done some pattern-drafting, and an excellent way to start if if this is new to you.

This class will cover:

DART MANIPULATION: pivoting darts to different positions to create new designs and/or adjust fit.

SHAPING WITH PANELS: joining or extending darts to create panels which can be used to sculpt for fit and silhouette.

SLASH'N'SPREAD: adding volume to create flow, puffs and gathers

At the end to this session you will go away with a comprehensive understanding of all of these techniques and ready to create the designs of your dreams! What you will learn can be applied to both working directly from blocks or altering existing patterns for fit and design hacks.
