This is an excellent course. I did the course in classes with Maria in 2017 and haven't done much sewing since then as we have been building and moving into a new home. I have needed to complete some garments for my daughter and dug out the Pattern Drafter . Having forgotten it all, I purchased this course and I am so excited to be starting all over again and have completed the block so far. Now to the fitting room for the final tweaks! Thank you very much Trish for your detailed instructions and I am looking forward to completing more outfits in the future.

Trish delivers and explains the use of Pattern Drafter tool in a clear and easy to follow manner. The Fitting room is a great addition as i have been unable to get to any workshops. Being able to re-watch / recheck what you are doing is an added bonus.
