Pattern Making
Pattern making is an essential skill to master if you want to be a fashion designer, as it enables you to take your design from an idea to working a piece of fabric to fit and flatter the body. Our part-time courses will help you get to grips with the basics of drafting, draping, flat paper pattern making and teach you the fundamentals of the software that makes it all possible.

I love the Cut! I took the Pattern Making and Assembling Technique certificate and learned so much! Intensive but I found exactly what I was looking for : a short, high-quality training that would give me industry-level pattern-making skills. I am so happy with what I have learned.
The teachers are absolutely amazing! A lot of experience, supportive, but also they push you to give the best of yourself. The small class size allowed me to have an almost one-on-one training. The staff there is also super nice and great! Great memories and connection with my classmates. I loved coming to the school and meet my school family :)) Liza, the owner and dean of the school, is wonderful! She brings you amazing job opportunities and connections. She is always looking to connect you with people in the industry. I am so grateful!
