DESCRIPTION
In this Patternmaking course, students will start with basic patterns, including darts and princess line variations, and learn how to manipulate them in relation to the fundamental rules of patternmaking. Patternmaking allows the designer to manipulate already existing patterns efficiently and create new configurations with custom measurements. There will be two basic projects during the semester: the skirt, with variations such as A-shape, gathered, with yoke, the bodice, working with darts and princess line variations. In the last half of the course students will learn about collars, sleeves, and pants. By understanding pattern construction students will be able to gain a wider understanding of the possibilities and limits of a fashion designer. At the end of the semester, students will have designed and produced an outfit, which they will present during a final exhibition/fashion show.
