As a student of the CADTERNS CSOL (CyberSchool of On-line Learning) you will learn how to style pre-fitted personal slopers (basic garment patterns) into Designer Originals - your own! Using the CADTERNS Fit-FIRST system of personal patternmaking, you will learn how to become as independent as you wish of cookie-cutter couture using the quick and easy CADTERNS system.

Enrolment requires a computer operating in Windows, email access, a digital sloper (available in class), a printer, and $50.00 enrolment fee. Each week a new lesson will be available, some of which will involve a project or a quiz due before the next lesson.

Applications are being accepted from now until September 15th for the fall 2002 semester of cyber-lessons in apparel patternmaking. Even if you hated introductory geometry when you were in school, this fun and practical application may just delight you. If you enjoy sewing or can team up with someone who does, all the more so.

Successful applicants will be advised by e-mail for classes that begin October 1st. Enrolment is limited and applicants using the CADTERNS personal patternmaking program will have first consideration. Some lucky and deserving students will be invited to continue in the winter (January until March) session at no extra charge.

No one is totally immune to fashion. Some actively engage in it, some simply tolerate it, but anyone can take more control of his or her involvement with it. Technology facilitates the growing community of fashion prosumers who choose to be involved in some or all of the production of their own personal apparel.
