Pattern Cutting Deconstructed

The brainchild of Monisola Omotoso, Pattern Cutting Deconstructed was conceived as the go-to platform for fashion creatives who want to learn dressmaking pattern skills in an accessible, fun way. Our mission is to educate budding pattern cutters everywhere. Our members are fashion creators from varied backgrounds, students, home dressmakers, tailors and hobbyists. Our aim is to inspire people to embark on a me-made journey. The new thinking in the fashion makers community is to reject the popular buy, buy, buy mentality for something altogether more sustainable, worthwhile and crafted. Our first Cut & Spread® Pattern Making Kit offers a stress-free approach that lets learners develop the skills and techniques to create well-fitted garments. Each kit includes : • A bodice block pattern in sizes 6 - 20 • A half-scale block pattern • Full instructions for 6 styles: 2 x Beginners, 2 x Intermediate, 2 x Confident  • PAPTIC® Trace & Sew paper • Calico, (for toiling the block) • Six - seven learning outcomes per level Moni is a multi-talented creative in the apparel industry, and has enjoyed a long and varied career.
