Have you always wanted to know how to create your own patterns that fit perfectly? Fashion designers often use a process called “draping” to create perfectly fitted patterns on the dress form. They drape a muslin fabric over a dress form and pin it into place, gently manipulating the fabric around the form. Once the fabric is draped, the key measurements and fit lines are marked to record the basic pattern shape.
In this Mood U Draping Basics Part 1 Course (Beginner Draping) you will learn will the fundamental rules of draping on the dress form. Creating basic patterns for a bodice, skirt & dress. Students will be guided in transferring their draped muslin onto pattern paper and fine tuning their pattern shapes. At the completion of the course, students will have finished both muslin drape work and paper patterns. We will guide you in achieving a perfect fit and finish with all your patterns to use as a basis for future projects and Mood U workshops.
Do you already have some experience in draping? Join our intermediate level class, Draping Basics Part 2.
