This course will cover the fundamental skills of flat pattern design. Flat pattern design is a process in apparel design that uses “blocks” or “slopers” as a foundation for garments. This course will cover a brief history of pattern making and the various methods of pattern design (draping, drafting, flat pattern and knockoff). This Course will take the students through the beginning stages of manipulating a sloper for a desired design outcome. At the conclusion of the course you will be able to create original designs through the manipulation of slopers/blocks.
