Industry Tech Packs

Hey everyone!

I hope you have all had a lovely week.

Just checking in before tomorrow’s session. If you have any questions or need help with anything please let me know!

If you can please share a front and back photo of your chosen garment (laid flat) before the session that would be fab! I will choose a garment that no one else is doing so that we can cover as much as possible.

Does everyone plan to do their flat/working drawing in Illustrator? I will be able to assist you with this in our session tomorrow too

Speak soon 🧡

Hello Erica, hello everyone! So nice to be part of this group for the next month.

I've caught up on last night's session. I would like to attempt flat drawing my designs on Illustrator but am very much a novice so i would be very keen to spend some time on technical drawing on illustrator next week, please?

I will be drawing a ruffle mini dress and will post photos later this week.

Thank-you! X

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone live next session! We will be trying to get to know each other a little at the beginning of the session too <3

The session recordings will be uploaded to the google drive folder each week. Here is the direct link:

Remember this week's task... post a flat image of your chosen garment on here (front and back view). Also, have a go at drawing in Illustrator if you can, dont worry if you struggle as we can do this together next session

If you need anything at all or have anything you want to show us then please share in the group.

Have a lovely week!
