The Experience
The Pattern Making Class is housed in a professional pattern studio in Yarraville, just 6 kilometres from the CBD and very easily accessed via both the Westagate Freeway, Dynon & Footscray Roads.
We are also thrilled to announce an incredible partnership with LCI Melbourne in Oxford St, Collingwood.
When we are not teaching, we are busy making patterns for our wholesale fashion clients.
The industrial warehouse space will afford you plenty of space to draft and cut out your patterns. We keep class sizes small so everyone gets attention and has room to be creative.
You will be learning in an established business environment, affording you the opportunity to see how it all works.
We will provide you with key essentials such as large drafting tables, industry quality large scale pattern making paper and cardboard blocks relevant to the course you choose. The specific block(s) used in each course are for you to take home.
