There is no time limit on course completion, and you will have unlimited access to the materials once your enrollment is paid.
You will need access to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Any modern computer that is capable of running Adobe CC programs will be fine. Instructions, shortcuts and cheat sheets are provided for both Mac and Windows operating systems. I personally use a 15″ Macbook Pro purchased in 2018 connected to a wide, 27″ monitor for pattern drafting.
The entire course is pre-recorded, so you can work on it anytime. You don’t have to be present for anything live.
I use a variety of teaching methods depending on the topic. Because most of the curriculum is extremely visual, I use a lot of videos and support them with text and downloadable PDF handouts. All videos are hosted on Vimeo and cannot be downloaded.
You can work on the course anywhere that has internet access! The videos are not downloadable for copyright reasons. They are hosted on Vimeo which is accessible all over the world except for China and Indonesia.
The amount of time it takes you to complete the course depends on many factors – your current pattern making level, how familiar you are the software, how much time you dedicate to watching the videos, etc. On average, I would estimate the course to take a few weeks to months.
This course is perfect for beginners! While I don’t teach the artistic aspect of it, you will learn the technical parts from scratch. All you need is your vision!
The course is currently only offered in English.
