In the first part of the workshop, Laura will explain the theory for designing garments. She will start with the choice of materials, types of stitches and their characteristics, sample, number of needles, measurements, constructions and how it affects the shape of the subsequent scaling and, finally, how to make calculations for scaling. In the second part, the theory will be put into practice on the basis of the sample taken by the participants and by means of various exercises. Two basic constructions will be used: drop shoulder and modified drop. Armhole and neckline will also be discussed, as well as how to start the sleeves in circular from the piece.
With the theory you will be able to know how the pattern has been designed and you will be able to use it as a guide for your own designs.
