Training the Next Generation of Apparel Industry Problem Solvers
Hello incredible colleague, and Welcome to Garment Engineering with me, Dr. Pat Trautman.
It's your turn
You know how to be average,
now it’s time to be exceptional.
Our mission is to provide you with all the tools you need to accurately execute your design and fit intent as envisioned so that you can concentrate on successfully presenting your creativity to the world.
It all starts with your vision and that first garment rendition.
Through the Alchemy of Fit organized curriculum you will go from drafting the pattern through fit manipulations for design.
Then it’s reinforced through the resources provided in Adventures in Patternmaking and in the Community of Professionals.
So let's get started
and receive expert guidance every step of the way.
Our Community
Our robust and active community, so you can develop the full skill set and confidence to know you can do it. You’ll be able to think through the entire process of executing while also having all the resources in Garment Engineering to call on.
The key is training yourself to the process, beyond visual symptoms, and well beyond simply patternmaking.
To access our community of Garment Engineers check out the interactive moderated community group.
