Ayano Hara – Patternmaking

What did you like most about your course?

I really like the small class! When I needed any attention or help, it was all there for me to learn as much as I could. I liked it how it was in the evening as I have a job during the day. I was so excited about Monday, and I think that says it all!

What did you think you were going to learn?

I took the pattern making course so I was expecting to learn how to make basic patterns. I had a bit of experience so I was very excited to learn something new.

How did your perception of the course change over time?

I was learning way more than I thought I was going to. It was serious and intense at times, and I loved it as it was not one of those casual hobby type of class. ( Don’t get me wrong, it was not scary at all and I didn’t feel pressured, I had a lot of fun 🙂 )
I was able to question, ask and understand the whole process of basic pattern making. The pattern making template is a best magical tool you could ever ask to have.

For you, what were the 3 biggest benefits of taking the course?

1. I can make and draft patterns by myself and make some garments that actually fits perfectly! The method I got taught is really easy to understand and use in a way I want.

2. I can make and draft patterns for other people, which is huge gain for me! I now know how to measure! Woohoo!

3. It was the best way to spend my Monday evening with lovely ladies/ teachers/ mentors. I had such fun learning, soaking up all the new knowledge and using my brain till it stopped, and those chats we had were all precious moments. I really miss that.

Would you recommend this course?

YES! For anyone who is interested in pattern making, you won’t regret it.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I’ll come back to learn more, and I’m very excited to improve my skills with Sunita and Pam.
