Draping The Basic Bodice
The basic bodice is one of the most fundamental lessons in beginning fashion draping. In this course, all the essential skills are introduced, including proper pinning, smoothing, clipping for ease, folding darts and trueing your drape.

Â
Drafting The Perfect Pants Foundation
This course involves creating a "Trouser"-style pants foundation via flat patternmaking using measurements from either a dress form or your own custom measurements. By entering the measurements and following all the necessary steps, you can create a perfect pants pattern that serves as a foundation for many other pants styles.
Drafting a Custom Sleeve
This lesson is about creating your basic sleeve for your basic bodice. It involves drafting the pattern of your sleeve using specific measurements based on sizes. I will show you the importance of reshaping the front of the underarm cap, how to create an elbow dart, how to walk your sleeve, adjust the ease for both the sleeve and armhole, and, of course, adding your seam allowances, notches and the grainline.
