Patternmaking

The Patternmaking certificate was created to address the industry's need for professionals with strong patternmaking and fitting skills. The program is geared toward fashion/technical designers as well as other apparel industry personnel who are responsible for production and pattern development nationally and internationally.

The program consists of five sequential credit courses that focus on:

• Developing body templates from specifications
• Developing patterns into advanced styles from the templates
• Applying muslin templates to mannequins
• Pattern grading and marker making
• Developing linings, facings and jackets
• Fitting, proportions, balance and making adjustments and pattern corrections

The program can be completed in three to five semesters during the evening and weekends to meet the needs of busy working professionals who have an interest in or a workplace requirement for these skills. The techniques developed in this program may be transferred to other areas of fashion apparel.
