FAQs:

Do I need any special software for this course?

Nope. While I do cover how to draft in Adobe Illustrator in the course, you can absolutely use paper and a ruler to do the same thing.

Will I be able to launch my own pattern business after this course?

Probably not. The course doesn't cover how to scan paper patterns to digitize, how to format your patterns to print for PDF patterns, or how to take the one size you draft and grade that to multiple other sizes - basically all the things covered in my other course, and all things you'd need to know to offer high quality professional PDF patterns.

I want to draft (pants, skirts, jackets, for women, etc) not a kids bodice. Are there more courses available?

Currently the answer is no. Though I do have plans for future courses in these areas, I will also be waiting to see how this one does before I commit more time to developing them.
