I haven't taken it myself but was looking into it. Also if you make some period menswear patterns I would totally be interested, especially in the construction instructions that you could include. I would love to learn from you.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089800075127589345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470691509282789478.post-76027230941972915582021-09-06T08:27:34.450-04:002021-09-06T08:27:34.450-04:00You should TOTALLY be an indie period men's we...You should TOTALLY be an indie period men's wear pattern maker!

I don't intend at this point to pursue it as a work option at least for now. I am just content with learning something new.<br />Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192103872756970288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470691509282789478.post-29982111297426228342021-03-21T14:52:36.999-04:002021-03-21T14:52:36.999-04:00Computers don’t make mistakes, or so we are told. ...Computers don’t make mistakes, or so we are told. My theory is that people are trained to use a computer that does digital pattern making, but these people have no training in apparel design, construction, and pattern making and grading. If you have a perfected sample size, you should be able to push the right key, and voila, a complete nested graded set of patterns.

Luckily Seamly is open source so it is not costing me money to try!<br /><br />I am curious as to what aspects you were correcting?

A few notes on my several decades dealing with computer generated patterns. I first worked with just the plotted patterns in the early 80’s, during by my last year in the design program at the U of Washington, double checking that they were accurate. Years later I was hired as a computer patternmaker for a local jacket company, but was let go.JohninKenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113968259661641897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470691509282789478.post-42108582488693802442021-03-14T13:12:07.078-04:002021-03-14T13:12:07.078-04:00Would you be interested in answering a few questio...Would you be interested in answering a few questions I have about cad programs and pricing?

Of those, Tuka is my favourite for having more learning resources such as a manual and videos within the software - others sometimes leave you to figure it out through youtube.
