Fashion Design through Patternmaking - The Sloper

https://goo.gl/7Lj7F3

This course will focus on the flat pattern method of fashion design. We will be making patterns for non-strech garments. Designing clothing in two dimensions requires a designer to drape a 3 dimensional foundational garment that becomes a working sloper when deconstructed and presented as 2 dimensional shapes. In this class you will learn to drape a custom foundation for any body. After the garment is draped we will correct the shapes and create a perfected sloper. Draping a Sloper is a pre requisite toward fully understanding how patterns work. Moving forward in the course we will use our slopers to explore the three major concepts of pattern making. 1. How to create shape. 2. How to create volume. 3. How to cut to the body.

Who is the target audience?
The course is the foundation of cutting garments, how to make patterns that work and how to see the relation ship between the 2 dimensional flat pattern and finished 3 dimensional garment.
Students who will benefit from this class include... Home sewers who use commercial patterns and would like more information about how patterns are created. Future younger students who may not be at the college level. Fashion enthusiasts who may not have formal fashion education in their communities. Students who may want tot study fashion but it may not be able to fit it into their formal academic course load. Cos-players and theatrical performers.
