Course Description

Do you want to learn to draft sewing patterns using Adobe Illustrator?

Have you ever wanted to draft your digital sewing like the indie designers? Learn how to measure your body and draft a bodice block using Adobe Illustrator.

A block or sloper is a base pattern that can be used to create any number of styles and designs.

Who can take this class?

Anyone with basic sewing garment experience. Having used a commercial pattern before is helpful. You do not need any prior experience with Adobe Illustrator or with flat pattern drafting - that is what I will be teaching you!

What do you need to take this course?

You need your own copy of Adobe Illustrator CC. I will be using the latest version, so if you have an older copy it will work, but there could be differences from the copy I use in class.

About the Course

This course does not require you know how to use Adobe Illustrator, but you must provide your own license as this is not included in the course.

You will learn:

  • The basics of Adobe Illustrator

  • What a bodice block is and why you want to have one in your measurements

  • How to take the correct measurements you need for the bodice block draft

  • How to draft the bodice block using Adobe Illustrator

The teacher could have used lettering on the screen to specify the exact measurement she referred to, stepe were a bti confusing to followl. Auto transcribe is not 100% flawless. The measurement for G and P are not the same as she had visually demonstrated in the video. the printouts and video is the same, but when making up the bodice in Section 4, she jumps to starting the 4inches down from the neckline and not the shoulder ridge. That's at least a 2inch variation. The rest was good to lean about truing digitally, and some tips were a nice add on to my exisitng experience with Adobe Ilustrator.
