Learn how to make a pattern your own - whether you're drafting for yourself or for others, create unique designs that feel like you.
It can be pretty daunting when you’re trying to wrap your head around pattern making.
So for a lot of us, we accept the ones we’re given.
But what if you could dream up your own designs, add flare and volume, or combine your favourite elements to create a new unique garment?
Each course helps you get creative and fast-tracks your learning with our focused online lessons.

Hi! I’m Alys, a pattern maker who's worked for brands like Alexander McQueen, steventai and Teija.
But I don’t think designing clothes should be something only the experts and fashion houses can do – which is why I started Unpicked Studio.
There’s nothing better than the buzz of bringing an idea to life, getting lost in the making and feeling so proud of the finished garment.
I help demystify pattern making so you have more time to get creative and sew a wardrobe you love.
If you’re ready to feel inspired, aren’t afraid to experiment (and probably make some fun 'mistakes' along the way), you’re in the right place...
