The textbook
The $70 268-page textbook, compiled for this class, contains over 700 scaled diagrams with step-by-step instructions that will speed you through your work. The material has been classroom tested over the past 20 years. It presents the methods, used in industry, that you need to know to sew clothing no one will believe you made. Students will buy the textbook from the instructor the first day of class.
The sample book
As you work through the course you will first make samples of the procedures you are learning. Mounting your samples into your sample book will give you a reference, that combined with your textbook will enable you to repeat the lessons later that you have learned in class.
Instruction is from the industry
The course is taught by Laurel Hoffmann, a production patternmaker/technical designer, who was trained by European master-tailors. Laurel first worked in high-end custom couture on Main Line, then moved into industry where she drafted, fit, and graded patterns for clothing factories. Later she taught at two leading Philadelphia universities for over 20 years where she tested and developed her fashion technology continuing professional education program. Her students include design-room personnel and students who later worked in industrial designing departments. Her program, written for novices and professionals alike, has enabled Laurel’s students to both design and sew more professionally, and allowed those interested to enter the industry’s fashion departments.
