I learned traditional pattern-making methods and combined them with more modern (digital) techniques. I often make the cross-over with curves. I can fiddle with point handles for an hour and still change my mind once I’ve printed the template.

What software do you use for patterns?
I use lllustrator to start. If something has more complicated dimensions or if I want to do parametric design, I’ll use Fusion 360.
Sounds really good. It’s still a dream of mine to do a course with Fine Leatherwork. I am not sure when, but hopefully in the near future. I look forward to it.
Thanks, Slyvia!
