Ever wondered how a flat piece of paper becomes a garment that fits perfectly? In this hands-on workshop in Manchester with Anna Stella Fashion Academy, you'll learn the foundations of pattern making, the skill behind every well-made piece of clothing.
During the class, you will:
  • Take accurate body measurements and learn how each one is used in drafting
  • Get to know the essential pattern-making tools and set up your paper correctly
  • Draft your own basic pattern step by step, at a pace that suits your level
  • Understand key markings: seam allowance, grainline, fold line and notches
  • Learn to spot common fitting problems and the simple adjustments that fix them
The workshop is led by the founder of Anna Stella Fashion Academy, a fashion designer and pattern maker with more than 30 years of experience, who drafts professional patterns for her own collections and teaches fashion design to students across the UK and the Arab world. Classes are kept small (up to 6 guests), so you'll get personal guidance throughout.
About the academy: Anna Stella Fashion Academy is run by Anna Stella London Ltd, a UK-registered company listed on the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKPRN 10101185) and an approved CPD provider with The CPD Group (provider no. 786956) for its Professional Training Program in Fashion Design, Creative Identity & Technology.

Anna Stella London

female Women-owned

Hi, I'm Anna Stella. Fashion has been my language for more than 30 years. I started with hand sketching and couture-style pattern making, and over time expanded into digital design, Adobe Illustrator and modern creative tools, including AI in fashion. Today I teach through Anna Stella Fashion Academy in Manchester, guiding beginners and aspiring designers to build confidence, learn professional methods and create work they're proud to show.
What makes my teaching different is the balance between creativity and structure: we don't just draw beautiful sketches, we build strong fashion lines, understand proportions and translate ideas into patterns that actually fit. I run small-group workshops at my own fully equipped studio in Manchester, as well as private 1-to-1 lessons and online classes.
Anna Stella Fashion Academy is run by Anna Stella London Ltd, listed on the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKPRN 10101185) and an approved CPD provider with The CPD Group (provider no. 786956) for its Professional Training Program in Fashion Design, Creative Identity & Technology.
