Do you have a desire to learn how the pattern drafting process works, how to alter patterns, make them for yourself, make your own product line, or even how to fine-tune patterns for proper fit? APM owner, Traci Anderson has taught patterning courses over the last fifteen years at local colleges and universities while also specializing as a Patternmaker/Technical Designer in the field.
Throughout those years students have applied their new skill sets, by creating various sloper types from scratch, fitting sloper muslins to body proportions, and altering slopers to achieve desired fit, aesthetics, and design aspirations. Students have gone from beginners with no experience to designing their own patterns from concepts to sewing up garments and presenting within class settings in less than one year.
