You will be delighted to discover that it is not rocket science.\nRather\, it is learned series of steps that you can exercise again\, and again; getting faster each time you develop a new pattern. \nOur workshop will begin with various exercises that will teach you how to look at an inspiration garment\, analyze it\, and then develop a plan which includes style details and measurements. You will then build the pattern in Garment Designer. The first pattern will be a simple style for a standard size. We will provide the inspiration for this one.  After you have completed that\, we will then move on to making decisions of how to adapt that pattern for your own personal measurements and you will then alter the first pattern to suit your body. Once you have this under your belt\, you will then move on to your own unique project\, working from an inspiration image or garment through to a developed pattern. \nClick here to download the flyer and registration form. Sign up for the workshop here in our web store\, and then download and complete the registration and send it to susan@cochenille.com \nBoot Camp\nDuring the Boot Camp\, we will walk through the process of taking the 36 measurements you can input into Garment Designer and then walk through the process of entering them into the program.
