Pattern Cutting







Along side my textiles work I have been attending a pattern cutting course at my local college. My aim was to establish a collection of blocks that would enable me to create a wide range of garments. Over six months I completed, a dress, a pair of high waisted trousers and shirt and an evening dress. Now I have completed my tolies I hope to go on to create various different styles of each toile, altering sleeves, collars, lengths, and then exploring fabrics.
I have already started my next project which will be a pair of summer shorts.

Pattern cutting is fast becoming a great passion of mine. I have come to realise pattern cutting and dress making is more of an interest than the design process within fashion. Over the next year I hope to develop my skills further within this disipline and be come a confident pattern cutter in time.
