It’s not magic, but it’s the next best thing. It’s a two-part skill called Pattern Making and Garment Construction. Think of it like building a house: first, you need a detailed blueprint (the pattern), and then you need to build it (the construction). Learning these skills allows you to create clothing that is truly yours, from the initial idea to the final stitch. Pattern making is the art of creating a template for a piece of clothing. It’s where you translate a design idea into a flat, 2D guide that will be used to cut the fabric.
