Welcome to day 3 of giveaway week! Today’s giveaway is not for beautiful fabrics or adorable patterns, but for a class to create your own patterns!
You might know Lauren Dahl from her popular blog,
Baste and Gather. Or maybe you know Lauren from the her pattern company,
Selvage Designs–home of a KCW favorite,
the Soleil Dress. I want to introduce you to not Lauren the blogger, not Lauren the pattern designer, but Lauren Dahl, the amazing teacher. Lauren has created an e-course that guides you through the process of designing your own patterns, from inspiration all the way to marketing and sales.
Pattern Workshop was founded in 2014 to provide aspiring pattern designers and sewing bloggers the tools they need to succeed in their businesses. Through highly informative videos, downloadable templates, printable checklists and detailed diagrams, students learn to use state-of-the-art software to create high-quality digital products.
If you’ve ever dreamed of designing your own patterns you know it can seem overwhelming. Actually just trying to figure out where to start can be completely overwhelming. Lauren’s course will take you from the very beginning all the way until your newly designed pattern is a reality! Just check out all this course has to offer:
So fantastic, right?! No matter what your sewing abilities, drafting experience, or Adobe Illustrator knowledge, Lauren has something to teach you. Just look at all the things her students have to say about Pattern Workshop:
Not only will you learn all about drafting, grading, and marketing patterns but you will meet a ton of people too. Lauren has set up a private Facebook group for everyone who takes this course. It’s a super supportive group of established and aspiring designers totally willing to share knowledge, answer questions, and help each other promote their patterns.
And now for the giveaway! Lauren has generously offered one enrollment in the course, Creating PDF Patterns: From Sketch to Sale ($149 value)! To enter use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter by Tuesday July 22. This giveaway is open to international entries, void where prohibited by law. Winner will receive the e-course Creating PDF Patterns: From Sketch to Sale.

Good Luck and Happy KCW!
