Menswear
pattern making & Garment Construction
Whether it's a military-inspired overcoat, a classic white dress shirt, the perfect T-shirt or a pair of casual trousers, there's no reason why menswear design shouldn't be as original, innovative or well-constructed as its womenswear counterpart. In this class you’ll learn to draft a pattern AND the sewing techniques required to complete your garment.
Skill Level: All
This course suits all skill levels but those with no sewing experience can expect to take longer. No pattern making experience is assumed.
