Meet Steve who said:

“My teacher really explained everything when she came over to show me how to do things, I really got it more and I understood how it all works”.

I think this is a good course to learn if you want to start Pattern Cutting the teacher was excellent, she helped me to understand all my tools from Morplan and now I know what they are used for especially the nipper, tracing wheel and the curve ruler.

I had fun on this course, and I am looking forward to moving on to the advance course in April 2019.

Meet Jade who said:

“Styleline Pattern Cutting is the best course I have ever been on, not just because I enjoyed learning about fashion but because we had a very engaging teacher.

The atmosphere was great and what I have learnt I will forever hold in my heart. I have learnt things I can teach my daughter.

This course has left me feeling more confident and I also cannot wait to keep learning.

I am looking forward to the New Year 2019 – Thank you so much for everything Marie”.

Meet Janice who said:

“Even though I already work on the production side of the fashion industry, I knew that pattern cutting was an invaluable skill and I wanted to learn more.

Since joining Styleline Pattern Cutting I have learnt a lot and I am already more inquisitive and thinking about what the pattern looks like when looking at garments now, as well as trying to calculate garment consumption.

My teacher was great, and I believe that being taught by someone already in the industry really makes a difference, especially when it comes to learning the “tricks of the trade”.

This may have been a beginner’s course but what I have learnt has made me want to expand my knowledge not only for my job but into making my own patterns and garments.

Thank you Marie for a great 8 weeks, and for sharing your knowledge with me, it’s been a lot of fun!”
