PATTERN CUTTING (BEGINNER)
Course Description
The Pattern Cutting (Beginner) course gives you a practical introduction to pattern construction, where you receive both theoretical and practical instruction. On this course, you will meet like-minded people who, like you, want to improve your skills, and you will receive a wide range of tools, methods and good advice along the way.
Construction of patterns is the link between the creative design and the physical shaping of models, and at the same time it’s the communication between design and production. The pattern cutting course conveys basic techniques and insight into the construction of basic patterns in interaction with creative design. Basic patterns for the skirt and top will be worked on. In addition, the course conveys knowledge of different variations.
Basic theory around model development will be reviewed, and you will make your own skirt and top basic form in paper and sewn up in fabric. Variations on the basic shape will be reviewed, and you will be given the opportunity to make a pattern according to your own design.

Modules
The students are introduced to the course and will subsequently be introduced to pattern construction with a focus on basic skirt patterns, in order to gain experience with how pattern parts work and how these are made. The participants develop a skirt in size 1:4 and then in size 1:1.
In this module, participants explore how to develop a variety of skirt variations. The work from the previous module, where the participants set about developing their skirt in size 1:1, continues, and the skirt is sewn up in cotton canvas stout.
The work is continued from the previous module, where the participants continue to work on their project. During the module, there will be individual sparring, and the course participants will continuously receive feedback regarding tools that can be used, good advice for implementation, etc.
In this module, the course participants will be introduced to pattern construction with a focus on upper body patterns. The participants develop a top in size 1:4 and then in size 1:1.
In this module we go in depth with incisions, which can shape textiles around the body and create new exciting designs. We will, among other things, review the twisting of cuts to a new placement that can highlight the body in new ways, as well as the popular hussar and princess cuts.
In this module, the participants will be tasked with making pattern construction for sleeves in sizes 1:4 and 1:1. During the module, there will be individual sparring, and the course participants will continuously receive feedback regarding tools that can be used, good advice for implementation, etc.
In this module, the course participants will be tasked with experimenting with collar variations. During the module, there will be individual sparring, and the course participants will continuously receive feedback regarding tools that can be used, and good advice for implementation, etc.
The participants make their own model in the sizes 1:4 and 1:1. There will subsequently be feedback and guidance on how the course participants can use their newly learned knowledge and experience in their further work.
