Fashion Technique Moulage



Do you want to work in fashion as a designer? And do you want to learn to convert your own ideas directly into feasible sewing patterns without having to be able to draw a pattern?
Then the Fashion Craft Technique Moulage training is for you!
During this 5-day training you start with the basic knowledge of modeling.


Moulage is a three-dimensional method in which fabrics are worked directly on the body, in order to create immediately usable custom patterns. During moulding, a well-fitting model is immediately created. This can then be converted into a sewing pattern and implemented. A beautiful way of working that is indispensable in the haute couture studios of many major designers.

These lessons are suitable for both beginners and advanced seamstresses. The training is also very suitable for professionals working in fashion who are looking for additional professional development to supplement current knowledge. Not much prior knowledge is required to participate: If you can stitch and zigzag straight with the sewing machine, that is sufficient.


Lesson hours:

This training consists of 5 teaching days of 5 hours each, alternating on Friday or Saturday. (11:30 - 16:30)

For beginners who first want to get acquainted with sewing, there is also a short-term Beginners Sewing Course (10 lessons).


Rate:

The tuition fee for this training is €400,- excl. VAT.
Payment of the full amount is due upon registration, before the start of the course.
