UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVE POTENTIAL AND EXPLORE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE

WITH THE DRAPING 101 MINI COURSE

WHO’S YOUR TEACHER?

My name is Alexandra and I am the founder and fashion designer behind Digital Pattern Library.

After spending years in the industry exposed to elitist, unsustainable and unethical practices, I am now on a mission to make fashion accessible for all.

Following a turbulent chapter of my life working in London under various fashion houses, I moved back to Cardiff with a little bit of money left in my back pocket and embarked on my own brand. I went on to garner media attention, award recognition and a passion for educating people around the skill of garment construction.

Today, the creative community here at Digital Pattern Library continues to grow and thrive, in part due me teaching you the skills to essentially render me useless!

You deserve to wear clothes that spark your confidence, reflect who you are, what you stand for.

You deserve to wear the designs you desire and the pieces that fit your body with love.

Why is sizing so hard, eh? Well it doesn’t need to be.

With this mini-course it will no longer be an issue. You will take back the creative power and drape beautiful garments that compliment your closet.
