Reyburn Brown has designed a series of flat pattern making classes that will take students through the process of creating a sew ready pattern from scratch, based on measurements.

Mastering French Pattern Drafting
taught by Reyburn Brown


I will give demonstrations on how to conduct a proper fitting, draft a sloper, fit a muslin and make draft corrections. The class goal is to learn how to draft a paper pattern. Each 6 week unit builds on the last, giving students a deeper understanding of the possibilities in pattern making. - Reyburn Brown
