I live in the city of Toronto and was wandering if anyone new of somewhere I can learn to draw patterns. I'm just looking for a basic class for personal use, not to become a proffessional designer. All the courses I have found in the colleges are fairly expensive and meant for professionals. I could take classes anywhere in the greater Toronto area.
Thank you.

http://www.csnf.com/ Are you going to the creative needlework festival in Oct? Being in the GTA you will likely find what you need there, check and see if there any local sewing guilds around too, they may be able to help.

I would love to go to that show, but flying to Toronto is a bit of a hassle, then finding a room, blah, blah, blah. If only we had something a little closer.

go to you local library and check out books on Flat Pattern Making. It is a fairly simple concept to understand but time consuming making a sloper.

You can find some information on net with a little searching.
