DIY Clothing Design: Design Clothes Unique to Your Style and Silhouette

Offered through Skillshare

About this course

No pattern, no problem. Create your own custom garment sketch and sewing plan inspired by the professionally designed clothes that you love most!

At 6’2’’, Robyn Burgess struggled to find clothes that fit both her inseam and her bold style. Tired of never feeling comfortable in the clothes she owned and constantly contributing to the fast fashion industry, Robyn decided to start making her own clothes. What began as a side project has turned into an entire custom-made wardrobe and a sewing blog beloved by a community of other curious, fashion-forward creatives.

Now, with years of stylish pieces under her belt, she’s ready to teach you how to fill your closet with your own handmade clothes. If you’re looking to create clothes with a designer aesthetic that are high-quality, budget-friendly, and sustainable, you’ll get just that as you learn how to create custom sewing patterns based on the clothing you already like.

In this class, you’ll discover how to sketch and plan your own made-to-measure garment design based on clothes you already feel confident—with no art, design, or drawing skills required!

Working with Robyn you’ll:

- Discover how your ideal neckline, waistline, and length affects your design - Create a garment with a shape that works well through your hips, bust, and waist - Choose the right fabric drape, weight, stretch and opacity for your garment - Utilize seams and lining to make your garment look professionally made - Combine pre-made patterns to make a pattern custom to you

Plus, Robyn shares multiple garments she loves and how she has used them as inspiration for her own sewing.

From those curious about fashion design to sewists looking to add their own spin to their craft, anyone with a pen and a touch of creativity can leave this class with a design and garment custom to them.

In this class, Robyn uses a sketchpad, pencil, pen, eraser, and a printable full-body croquis drawing of a fashion model to make her custom design sketch. Consider scrolling through your favorite designers or flipping through some fashion magazines for design inspiration before you get started. To continue your sewing journey, explore Robyn's Learning Path Sew Custom Clothing from Scratch.
