The Dressmaker’s Portfolio - introduction to pattern cutting & design runs over 8 days in May. Students will learn the skills needed to start to design and create a handmade wardrobe.
Based on the Moulage technique which I learned from Kenneth D King in New York, you will be able to start to design your own clothes or use what you learn to alter commercial patterns, you do not have to complete previous levels to take this course but you will need a good understanding of dressmaking and construction
In Part One we will be concentrating on making a blouse or dress with a sleeve, there will be follow-up workshops for more techniques like jackets & coats and more sleeve designs.
