This is a course designed for fashion enthusiasts who would like to learn how to create printable sewing patterns from scratch using Adobe Illustrator.

---

Why Adobe Illustrator (AI)?

  • AI it is a popular graphic design tool that everyone can have access to on their laptop or desktop.

  • AI saves you a lot of time, saves you from your backache/neck pain when drawing paper patterns, gives you a lot of flexibility and the most precise, smooth, and professional-looking patterns.

  • When you need the patterns ready for cutting, you could print them out (within a few minutes) at a Photocopying Shop, requesting for A0 Size Paper Roll;

    or you can print them out at home using your home printer, and attach the A4-sized pieces of paper together.

    In 10 years, 20 years from now, these same patterns can still be stored on your hard drives, without the need for you to stockpile thousands of paper patterns in your storage space.

  • Anyone can apply the same techniques and the same formulae learnt through this course to create gorgeous and body-fitting patterns.

    If you are a beginner, you can refer to the videos and documents provided in the lectures to create blocks from scratch.

    If you are a professional designer, you can use the same techniques to draw any pattern you design in the future.

In this course, you will learn how to create from scratch:

- A bodice block

- A dress block

- A skirt block

- A trousers block

- A collar block

- A sleeve block

- The slash and spread method

- Waist adaptations

and so much more.

Now it's time to start!
