Hi!
I’m Lynn Strobel and
here to share information on patternmaking and fashion design with you. I have
had a long career in the garment industry as a designer, patternmaker and small
business owner. Eventually I became an instructor at FIDM- Fashion Institute of
Design and Merchandising, as well as El Camino and Orange Coast Colleges.
Hopefully the knowledge I have accumulated will help to shorten your learning
curve and help you with the projects that you are working on.
Learning Flat Patternmaking and Draping are essential if you
want to execute your own unique fashion designs. First you will need the basics
of sewing under your belt so that the concepts of patternmaking will make sense. Flat patternmaking is not
rocket science, once you are introduced to the basics, you will be able to
easily execute your own designs.
Flat patternmaking is the art of taking a basic Sloper or
block that fits and manipulation it to achieve a new style. If the original
pattern fits, then the changes made by moving darts, adding ease and creating
style lines will not affect the original fit of the garment. You will want to
test each new pattern, by making a sample and refining the pattern with
adjustments that reflect the way the garment fits.
I will be posting project and pictures to help you learn
more about patternmaking and sewing. In the meantime check out my website at http://www.synergyartanddesign.com/
for videos on patternmaking and sewing.
Cheers!
Lynn
