Monisola Omotoso believes clothing shouldn’t be dull – that if a garment can evolve into something that’s the same but somehow different, the wearer won’t get bored of it. As a designer and pattern maker, she has created clothing for the likes of David Bowie and developed patterns for Alexander McQueen. She also develops pattern-making kits to help others make clothing of their own.

In this course, Monisola teaches you how to take measurements and design a basic trouser block pattern from scratch. Make a pair of classic trousers using a fabric of your choice and learn how to adapt it to create different styles and looks. Clothing is a great canvas for showcasing your creativity. Stand out with your own style.
