Course description

This LCF menswear pattern-cutting course offers you an excellent opportunity to learn and develop all aspects of professional menswear pattern-cutting skills to industry standards. The course will introduce you to exciting new methods of contemporary pattern cutting for menswear, focusing on current trends and shapes as well as covering the more traditional methods.

You’ll start with an introduction to industry standards, basic blocks and be taken step-by-step through the core skills of pattern reading and style interpretation. First, you will focus on the menswear body block and sleeve, learning the basics of pattern manipulation before moving on to create patterns for a variety of menswear garments. You’ll learn how to alter patterns for fit, as well as how to change the look of a garment to create different silhouettes and for working with different fabrics.

During the course, you will build up a reference file of pattern work and notes.

You’ll leave the course able to interpret fashion designs into your own patterns and garments.
