If you make garments - whether professionally or as a hobby - this skill set will give you the essential foundation to take your work further. The skills you gain are highly transferable across both the fashion and costume industries, and will complement the knowledge of current or past students of fashion, textiles, or costume design, as well as industry professionals looking to refine their practice.
You’ll learn how to draft and construct accurate stock-size blocks that meet industry specifications for size and fit. These blocks are the blueprint for patternmaking, forming the base from which new garment styles are developed using flat patternmaking techniques.
