Have you ever wanted to draft your digital sewing like the indie designers? Learn how to measure your body and draft a bodice block using Adobe Illustrator. A block or sloper is a base pattern that can be used to create any number of styles and designs.
Who can take this class?
Anyone with basic sewing garment experience. Having used a commercial pattern before is helpful. You do not need any prior experience with Adobe Illustrator or with flat pattern drafting – that is what I will be teaching you!
What do you need to take this course?
You need your own copy of Adobe Illustrator CC. I will be using the latest version, so if you have an older copy it will work, but there could be differences from the copy I use in class.
