LEARN

Welcome to the Trama School. At the moment we are offering a course for those aiming to start their learning journey on the apprenticeship of patternmaking. We have a free introductory module that you can try.

INTRODUCTION TO PATTERNMAKING

-COURSE FOR BEGINNERS-

You like to sew, but you’re curious about how to create your own patterns and don’t know where to start? Or you like to design clothes, but don’t know how to bring It to life?… Or simply, you would like to explore the basics of the patternmaking and understand how it works? Then this introductory courses may be your start point.

Here you can understand what is flat patternmakin and how it is used. You will get to know the main tools to set up a basic studio, and draft your own set of skirt, bodice and sleeve blocks. You will also be able to practice some pattern’s transformations from the basic blocks and draft some details.

These are simple courses to help you understand the main concepts, but will help you achieve autonomy to explore other materials if you decide to deepen your learning.

Instructions are in both metric and imperial measures (imperial measures are shown in brackets).

The course is divided in separated modules that you can take independently. The first one – Principles of Pattern making – is free. I invite you to try it and get to know a little about this magic world of transforming ideas into clothes.

Coming up soon, the next module will be all about skirts and how to bring them to life.
