Not just another tutorial

As far as CLO3D goes there's not a ton out there, so it's really nice to get in there with personal help. You're putting it into practice while you learn.

It saved me so much time. This course gave me a roadmap to follow and it changed my mentality. Just do it. Get it done.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about digital pattern drafting! The course is designed in a way that allows you to build on the basics and easily transition into more complicated pattern development.

I feel like okay, this person's the real deal. The value that we were given, there's bar none nothing else out there like it.

The entire ability to be able to design and manipulate apparel patterns in Illustrator is simply amazing to me.

Amazing tutorials on pattern drafting in Adobe Illustrator.

The Digital Pattern Drafting Academy

You don't have to figure this out alone.

A course can show you the steps. But it can’t look at your pattern and tell you why the armhole is gaping, or remind you that you’re closer than you think on a hard day.

In the Academy, I can. You’ll have me, a group of sewists cheering you on, and a garment at the end that’s yours from the first measurement.

Weekly live office hours: bring your pattern, leave unstuck
Bi-weekly accountability so you actually finish
Monthly training and a monthly patterning party
Three routes: draft your own sloper, master CLO3D’s 2D Pattern Drafter, or alter digitally
