Get to grips with the basics of flat pattern cutting for a skirt
Join designer Tracey Stewart for this practical 4-week online course. You will learn how to draft a basic skirt block to a set of measurements and manipulate it into a style to complete a fully finished pattern.

Suitable for beginners, no experience required!
