coming soon!
course info
Changing armholes, sleeves and necklines isn’t quite as easy as it looks.

You will learn how to combine contouring with slash and spread to create new necklines, armholes and sleeves including raglan and bishop sleeves. This course is the fourth course of the Pattern Cutting Fundamentals Course Series, covering essential beginner pattern cutting knowledge and techniques.
