WOMENSWEAR PATTERNMAKING
Our two-year course was created in response to the growing demand by companies within the sector, for clothes pattern-makers capable of working in a completely autonomous way, and who possess a high level of technical knowledge, and thus are able to face the ever-growing competitiveness of the fashion industry. During their first year, students will learn the methods and basic technical skills needed to create skirts, vests, shirts, and trousers. They will also be introduced to the techniques necessary for transforming these basic designs, in order to achieve a finished product.
