Lingerie Pattern Cutting Class
Custom Lingerie Pattern Cutting Classes.
50. One to one lingerie design and pattern cutting classes, from our Greenwich studios in London. Classes are custom built to exactly fit your individual requirements. Even if you are a complete beginner, with no experience.
Some of our students are home sewers and complete beginners to lingerie, while others are fashion students with basic pattern cutting skills.
Online Learning.
If you would prefer to learn how to cut and design lingerie from your own home through the internet, we are able to offer you virtual learning via Zoom. Our online internet classes are designed to be easy to follow for beginners and intermediates.
Contour Pattern Cutting.
General pattern cutters these days are two a penny. Straight out of fashion school, students have little experience and few skills to offer a potential employer. Specialism is the key to adding value for a potential employer.
Lingerie is a specialist area of pattern cutting that is not too difficult to master once you have the basics, although like everything else, there is always more to learn. The important thing is that there is a demand for it.
To become a skilled contour and lingerie pattern cutter takes a fraction of the time that it takes to become a pattern cutter generally, but the skills translate into many other sectors of pattern cutting. Once you understand the principles of pattern cutting you can more easily learn other areas.

Learning For Domestic Sewers.
Some of our students are interested in learning about lingerie or underwear pattern cutting for their own domestic use. The skills are relatively easy to learn and some garments can be easy to make with a little practise. If you can sew, then learning to sew lingerie is easy.
Flat Pattern Cutting.
Most lingerie pattern cutting uses the flat pattern cutting method, where standard blocks are used to create new styles. Shapes can be made by manipulating the flat pattern and creating darts, yokes, and gathers.
Modelling On The Stand.
In order to create patterns by modelling on the stand ( Draping) it is necessary to have a good mannequin that accurately reflects the shape of the human body.
Sometimes a mixture of flat pattern cutting and modelling can be used. The basic shape can be configured on the mannequin, then transferred to paper, with the appropriate seam allowances.
Specialise.
The advantage of learning to be a lingerie pattern cutter as a career is that it is a specialism that is in great demand. Generic pattern cutters are two a penny, but specialist pattern cutters are very much sought after.
Even if you aim to be another type of pattern cutter altogether, it is a great skill to add to your other fashion skills. It also teaches you how to create contoured shapes that fit the body.
Questions And Answers.
Although we offer expert one-to-one tuition on a daily basis, some people do not want to take part in a pattern cutting course or a class. They have a certain amount of knowledge, and prefer to work at home on their own.
Sometimes they just get a little stuck, and need some help. For occasions like this we provide a one-to-one question and answer service. This could be in the form of a simple email, or it may require a phone call, or Zoom.
Most questions are fairly straight forward, although require an amount of to and fro communication. Prices start from £10, and most are less than £20. We would give you a price on request.
We have several specialist lingerie experts available to answer your queries. Just email for availability.
