Overview
What you will study
The Womenswear Pattern Cutting Summer School offered by Kingston University has been divided into four separate modules. Each can either be booked separately, as a two-week block or together as a full four-week summer school. Each module focuses on one of the core industry standard size-12 womenswear blocks, studying it in detail and exploring the full breadth of possible design adaptations available. You will be shown step-by-step how to alter different parts of the pattern pieces, practising many style variations and learning aesthetic variations such as moving darts, changing seam lines as well as adjusting the entire silhouette and fit of the garment. You will gain confidence in interpreting a design and applying the principals you have learned to create a fully styled pattern. Each module will also cover how to add seam allowances and "true" the pattern so it is ready for sewing. You will leave each module with a comprehensive file of pattern samples, which you can refer to after the course to create patterns of any style and design you choose.
