Last week, there was a very special lecture about a paper pattern practitioner's own experience. The reason for it to interest me is that he introduces us to the hidden lives of those who follow the paper pattern. Beforehand, I had no idea about the life for a professional paper pattern practitioner who is one of the behind branches of fashion design. Although I had some guesses about this kind of life, the real experience still fascinated me. Moreover, the personal experience of the narrator greatly enriched the direction of my career planning. Therefore, I will give an introduction to what I am interested in in the lecture.
First of all, from the perspective of professional practitioners, the work of pattern maker is very promising. As a consequence of the importance of paper pattern in the process of fashion design. Strictly speaking, the paper pattern can influence the effect of the final garment. As a result of that, without a professional pattern maker, we can not realize the potential of fabric and design. Another reason is that, without the pattern maker, the creative shape of the garment can not be created. It is obviously that, in order to explore their own styles, more and more designers are trying to make some creative shape of garment. As a result, normal paper pattern can not meet the designer's requirements, the market needs more paper pattern makers with professional abilities. These pattern makers need to be patient and creative to understand and implement the designer's idea. Furthermore, many of the classic clothes of luxury brands are famous for their paper patterns. In conclusion, the importance of pattern designer cannot be ignored.
Secondly, let’s talk about how to become a more professional pattern maker through self-directed learning. There are many books on paper pattern in the market, and we can master the relevant knowledge by reading related books. At the same time, there are also faster ways to learn, many social media bloggers will share their own methods in the process of making paper patterns. Hence, we can learn by looking at information on social media. Additionally, many of the bloggers who share their experiences on social media have rich experience in the industry, which will bring great benefits to our learning. Therefore, try to use all the resources at hand to start learning, as long as the action will progress and will be fruitful.
Last but not least, how about the attitude towards learning pattern making? To start with keeping a loving heart, this is because in the process of learning, we will encounter many problems that are not easy to overcome. Loving heart will help us persevere and enjoy the boring process. Next, never ignoring the importance of sample making. Many problems can not be found in the text level, we need to continue to try and practice, in a large number of practices to gain experience and find problems, so as to reflect the value of learning. Many professional pattern makers have accumulated experience in a large number of practices, so the value of sample can’t be ignored. And then another part which must be paid attention to is the research direction, in the process of learning. A clear direction can help us eliminate a lot of unnecessary work. Then we can pay more attention on some key point and our learning efficiency will be greatly improved.
