What People Are Saying
I have just finished drawing and sewing up my blocks and designing a few outfits. OMG I am only a beginner and this is the best course. Trish your video is excellent. It’s so easy to understand and I couldn't believe I had my own dress block in no time. For all the years wasted on buying commercial patterns that never fit, I wish I knew about The Pattern Drafter I would have saved a lot of frustration and time. I will now buy The Children’s Pattern Drafter next so I can make sensory sensitive clothes for my special needs daughter instead of paying a fortune. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

About The Pattern Drafter
Maria Boncaldo is the inventor, developer and founder of The Pattern Drafter, and The Children’s Pattern Drafter.
Maria started sewing at the age of 10 when her sister’s hand-me-down clothes needed re-styling to fit her.
Sewing on the Singer treadle machine that her mother brought out with them from Italy, Maria soon found sewing a pleasure rather than a chore. Therein began her love affair with sewing and her quest for perfection in garment making.
Maria is a qualified dressmaker; pattern drafter and designer, tertiary teacher and private tutor. Maria has experience in clothing production and is an accredited wardrobe analyst.
In operating her own business and in teaching, Maria found that she was not satisfied with the tools available for pattern drafting.
To solve this problem, Maria created a simple and quick Pattern Drafting system with easy to follow step-by-step instructions to take the mystery out of Pattern Drafting.
Maria’s motto is “keep it simple”, and she has achieved that aim with The Pattern Drafter.
You’ll enjoy using The Pattern Drafter. It has been developed to simplify design and make the experience enjoyable and rewarding.
