Create your Dream Knicker Drawer!
The DKD course is a unique pattern cutting course that comprises of both fitting and making your patterns fit you AND creative pattern cutting techniques that allow you to create your dream styles.
With these two techniques you will be able to create knicker sewing patterns that fit you perfectly and are in the designs you love to wear.
By the end of the course you would not only have learnt sought after pattern drafting skills that usually cost thousands doing a bachelor's degree (like I paid!) but you will have the perfect collection of knicker patterns enabling you to create a collection of knickers that fit you perfectly and in the designs you always dreamed of, so you can go about your day feeling confident, comfy and amazing!
Would you love to be able to...
create your own knicker sewing patterns so they fit you perfectly so that you don't have to worry about the daily struggle of uncomfortable, ill-fitting undies?
pattern cut your dream knicker styles in the designs you love to wear so you don't have to compromise being 100% you every time you get dressed?
express your creativity through making your own underwear and not be limited by available sewing patterns or designs in the shop?

You won't have to...
feel confused and stressed anymore as to why commercial sewing patterns don't fit you well
spend hours on the interent to try and find out a pattern cutting technique for lingerie garments, and when you do think you've found it, only to find out it was more suited to outerwear!
