Understanding how to drape and manipulate fabric is a key ingredient in learning how to draft your own garment patterns. In this thorough class, you’ll learn foundational draping techniques from Project Runway All Star and Mood Fabrics’ Creative Director of Education, Benjamin Mach. Not only will you learn the fundamentals of preparing a dress form, measuring and marking the body, and draping the fabric on the dress form, but you’ll then learn how to transfer the pattern to paper to make your very own original skirts, tops and dresses.

very well explained - great to understand some of these basics of pattern making. it is a little difficult to replicate if you are a beginner / novice and dont have the mannequin to use. would have been good to understand how to do these using measurements taken from the body instead of using the mannequin.
