Copy your clothes Bundle
Learn to recreate the garments you love and make them your own.
Ever had one of those garments you’ve loved, quite literally, to death? Worn on repeat, week after week, until it finally gives out?
Or maybe there’s a piece you want to love… if it wasn’t for that one frustrating detail that makes it just not quite right.
There’s nothing quite like the disappointment of realising you can’t wear something you love anymore.
Except… what if you could?
What if you had the skills to recreate the garments you reach for again and again? Or take what works, change what doesn’t, and make something even better?
The Copy Your Clothes Bundle brings together both parts of our Copy Your Clothes Series, giving you the tools to recreate your favourite garments and transform them into designs that truly work for you.
What’s included
This bundle includes:
- Copy Your Clothes Skills Kit
- Make It Your Own Skills Kit
Together, these kits give you a complete workflow:
Copy → Understand → Refine → Create
Rather than relying on existing patterns, you’ll build the confidence to:
- Recreate well-loved garments
- Fix design details that don’t work for you
- Develop your own patternmaking skills
- Create garments you’ll want to wear again and again
Please note: This listing is for a digital pattern and resource only.
Copy Your Clothes Skills Kit
Start with the foundations. Learn the tools, techniques and processes needed to create patterns from your existing wardrobe, without taking garments apart.
You’ll work through a series of tutorials of increasing complexity, including:
- A basic T-shirt
- A button-up shirt
- Pants
- Garments with darts, tucks and gathers
Along the way, you’ll build essential patternmaking skills such as:
- Using a French curve
- Checking and truing patterns
- Adjusting sleeve caps and ease
- Adding seam allowance and markings
- Drafting components like plackets, pockets, waistbands and cuffs
- Creating a toile and refining your designs
Make It Your Own Skills Kit
Once you’ve created your patterns, this kit helps you take them further.
Through guided prompts and practical tutorials, you’ll learn how to assess fit, explore design changes, and apply patternmaking techniques to create garments that feel truly your own.
Skills covered include:
- Fit adjustments using darts and grading
- Dart manipulation
- Creating panel lines (horizontal, princess, curved and more)
- Changing garment shape and proportions
- Adding volume
- Drafting facings
Use these techniques on garments you’ve copied or patterns from your stash.
Difficulty
These resources are designed to meet you where you are.
If copying garments is new to you, the Copy Your Clothes Skills Kit starts with simple projects and gradually builds in complexity.
The Make It Your Own Skills Kit can be approached in small steps, allowing you to build skills over time without feeling overwhelmed.
