“I recently completed the Saturday Intro to Patternmaking course and can’t recommend it highly enough. I was really impressed on how straightforward and easy to understand the techniques in the NZAF course. Sunita, gave clear and concise instruction in every step of each block and made sure that everything was understood completely. Dart transference, which had always been a bit of an enigma to me, is now very clear. In addition, the pattern drafting tools that were supplied in the course kit were incredibly easy to navigate. Sunita also has an amazing wealth of knowledge, due to her background in fashion design, which she doesn’t hesitate to impart to her students in order to make the process even clearer. I can’t wait to put into practice the techniques I learnt so I can start drafting my own wardrobe. I really do highly recommend this course for anyone who has an interest in pattern making and dressmaking. You won’t regret it!” – Jenny Thompson
“What I liked most about this course was gaining an understanding of the basic constructs of a pattern, I felt the biggest benefits of taking this course were knowledge, understanding and confidence. I would recommend this course to my friends and would like to do the more advanced course next. -Kay Mansfield
