About This Blog

This blog is aimed, specifically, at teaching students of fashion design how to make close-fit stretch-wear patterns. While the public can certainly learn a lot from reading the blog, they may find they need the added guidance of an "in class" fashion teacher ... I'm not going to provide this level of instruction.

Everything you need to design women's swim or dancewear patterns is already here. By combining the various elements of each lesson a design student should be able to create any number of designs. I will not be adding new patterns unless it becomes necessary for one of my classes.

If you'd like to keep in touch with like minded creative people then feel free to add me as a friend on facebook ... I love to see what others are doing ... just type Pattern School as the message and I'll know to add you.

My experiment in alternative fashion can be seen at Itty Bitty Evil Kitty ... please drop by and add your opinions and help shape the experiment.

Block Colour

I thought I’d post this YouTube video of Watersun Swimwear at IMG Swim Fashion Week 2009 because it demonstrates (at the start of the show) the use of  colour blocking that we were discussing in our yahoo group.

 

 

I have to admit I’m disappointed in the lack of new creative styles. As always swimwear design seems no more than recycled styles dressed up in a new print or colour.

All that said, in the bottom right hand corner of the YouTube plugin there is an up-arrow … if you click on it and select the multi feature box the screen shows a number of thumbnails across the bottom that YouTube thinks are along the same theme as the one I embeded. This is great for general viewing of swimwear related videos, but if you type “swimwear” into the search box you get a huge selection of swimwear videos to look at without ever having to leave the site … fantastic if you’re looking for inspiration.
