Master the pattern drafting tools of Clo3D while learning to create well-fitting lingerie garments
In this course, you’ll learn how to use CLO3D to create professional pattens for your own underwear designs. You'll be able to accurately draft patterns from scratch, conduct virtual fittings and transform those patterns to reflect your creative ideas.
This course is for you if:
You’re a professional pattern maker experienced in traditional drafting, but want to level up digitally: I’ll show you how Clo3D can speed up your process so you’ll be able to draft more accurate patterns in less time.
You're a home sewist and want to draft your own lingerie patterns, making modifications quickly, without spending hours tracing piece after piece: in this course you’ll learn to create printable patterns for your own use or to sell, and will be able to test your designs in Clo3D before wasting precious fabric on them.
You’re new to making lingerie patterns: all the drafting techniques in the course are explained from scratch, so you’ll be able to build your knowledge from the ground up.
You want a way to make your design ideas come to life: in this course, you’ll see how Clo3D can complement your design skills, allowing you to visually experiment and make creative decisions.
Underwear designer
I would highly recommend. The course covers so much more than drafting a basic panty and I discovered features and benefits of CLO3 I did not even know was possible (Marker making and calculating fabric usage for example)
Designer & Pattern Maker
The course was a very positive surprise for me. It was my first long CLO3D course and I didn't know what to expect. There were many things that surprised me and developed my skills. The great advantage of this course is that it can be done step by step with a teacher. It's not cut up, the pace is great, and everything is explained. I would definitely recommend it to other people!
Creative director & Designer
Great course to start your lingerie knowledge in CLO3D. Clear and straight to the point.
I know first hand how difficult it is to find realiable information about lingerie design & pattern making online, so I made this course to remedy exactly that! You'll be able to take advantage of digital pattern making and 3D tools to quickly draft, test and visualise your designs:
Imagine how much time (and fabric!) you'll save if you could identify fit or design issues even before your first sample. Fewer samples also mean a smaller carbon footprint: well-made garments shouldn't be at odds with sustainability!
You'll get to try different fabric and colour combinations, and even different design variations, by visualising your garments in a realistic and accurate way.
Being able to see a 3D mockup side by side with your pattern will allow you to do pattern modifications in a quicker and more accurate way, as you'll see how each change affects the garment in real time.

Hi! I’m Sofía, and I work as a freelance lingerie designer & pattern maker for brands all around the world.
A big part of what I know about making lingerie comes from being self-taught, so I know the frustration of being unable to find enough information online! I hate gate-keeping, and that's why I decided to help people passionate about fashion create their own 3D designs and improve their pattern-drafting skills.
I teach in several design schools, but I also love sharing my expertise via 1:1 lessons, tutorials and online courses like this one. I can't wait to see what you create in this course!
don't miss out
Big fashion brands are already implementing these digital pattern making tools and 3D software, but we can all take advantage of this technology: from indie designers to freelance pattern makers or home sewists, we can all all use Clo3D to create in a faster and more sustainable way!
Not at all! I’ll explain all the basics of pattern drafting and Clo3D from the start, so you don’t need any previous experience. I’ll focus mainly on the pattern drafting side of the software, but I’ll leave additional resources in case you’d like more in-depth knowledge of the full 3D capabilities of the program.
Yes! That's exactly the point ;) Everything that you draft in Clo3D can be printed like any PDF pattern, so you can cut and sew a physical garment. Having the ability to fit your patterns in Clo3D will help you create physical garments that have most fit issues already corrected. That said, Clo3D is not a magical wand: the quality of your patterns (and the fit of the garments you make based on them) will depend on how you apply your own pattern making skills. 3D fitting can save us a lot of work, but it's not always 100% correct, we still need to fit our garments on a real person.
Absolutely! In fact, I find that Clo3D can benefit home sewists in so many ways, as it gives you the ability to test your designs within the software (without wasting any fabric!), and then you can print the patterns on your regular home printer and start sewing. I do this all the time when I make garments for myself!
You probably have a solid knowledge of pattern drafting already, but with this course you’ll learn to transfer those skills to the software, which will allow you to create more accurate patterns faster. You’ll also benefit from learning the multiple ways in which Clo3D can be used in a production environment to streamline both the design and the fitting process.
Of course! All the lessons have a comments section where you can ask questions, and I check those regularly to provide answers. I believe in supporting all my students at every step of the way, and making mistakes and asking questions are all parts of the learning process!
