Garment fit issues

This practical 1-day course has been designed so delegates get a hands-on understanding of how garment fit relates to patterns and blocks.

Delegates are encouraged to send garments with fit issues to the University a few weeks prior to the date of the course. If appropriate, these will be included in the course. Delegates will gain an understanding of pattern blocks and patterns with regards to common garment fit issues.

This course has been designed for delegates with basic pattern cutting knowledge and quality control and/or product development experience.
