Using this classroom-tested program, learn the professional fashion design pattern design and clothing design procedures used in the world's top design rooms to produce beautifully custom fitted, highly desirable garments like those sold in high-end boutiques in Paris and New York City.  Industrial fashion design methods, pattern making and clothing design skills will enable you to start a home-based fashion design business, learn to sew more professionally, and learn the art of draping, drafting and fitting.

Learn how to start a clothing line and/or how to start a clothing business, learn to draft professional patterns from measurements, learn how to adapt grade rules, and how to grade home sewing patterns to custom fit. Learn to sew and manufacture high-end, luxurious clothing for yourself and others. Learn how to cut exotic textile designs to match.

This program is about high-end professional sewing techniques, as done in both custom haute couture and high-end industrial designing departments. Minimal equipment is needed, as the more expensive the garment, the less equipment needed to make it. Although you will learn about industrial sewing machines, all work in the program can be done on a treadle sewing machine in the home.

The pant books are available in hard copy for purchase now. Six additional books are in progress. As the additional books become ready, we will post them on the website. Currently they are being tested in the classes and are sold ONLY to students in the program. That is because our insistence on high quality, easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions that REALLY work, is in place. This policy ensures that you, our customer, will be highly satisfied with the improvement in your sewing EVERY time you buy and use one of our books. As always, all work is guaranteed. If not COMPLETELY satisfied please return your book within 30 days for a FULL refund, no questions asked.
