Tricia Crocket works with
Palmer/Pletsch Certified Instructor Lori Zia from Hawaii to draft a skirt pattern.
Lori now has the perfect fitting skirt that flatters.
FIVE-DAY SEWING VACATION:
Be Your Own Designer:
Pattern Drafting
featuring Tricia Crockett, Design Instructor from the
Art Institute in Portland

Draft your own bodice, sleeve and skirt block onto Perfect Pattern Paper using your measurements. Tissue fit to perfection.

Using ˝ scale patterns you will practice flat pattern drafting principles to design garments.

First project using your drafted bodice: A basic T-shirt in a knit. Learn about ease; create the neckline you want in this easy-to-complete project.

Bring a collection of pictures of fashion ideas you’d like to design. Tricia will help you determine which design you will create for yourself using flat pattern techniques. You will cut and sew the design during the remaining time in the workshop or you can draft additional designs.

 

Recommended Prerequisites: Palmer/Pletsch Fit and Pant Fitting & Sewing workshops.
