Dare to design differently with Creative Geometric Cutting 1, a revolutionary course that will transform your understanding of garment creation and empower you to craft truly unique, artistic pieces.

Move beyond standard patterns and conventional thinking as you explore the thrilling world of unconventional geometric cutting, where simple shapes become the foundation for extraordinary, high-fashion tops and dresses.

This is your invitation to experiment, push boundaries, and unleash your inner design anarchist.


✅ Deconstruct Design Norms & Embrace the Unconventional
Learn to question traditional garment construction, shifting necklines, reimagining armholes, and playing with asymmetry to create pieces that are unexpected, intriguing, and entirely your own.

✅ Master Geometric Transformation for Artistic Expression
Discover how to start with basic geometric forms—rectangles, triangles, and their variations—and manipulate them through innovative cutting and minimal sewing to achieve complex drapes, surprising silhouettes, and effortless chic.

✅ Unlock Creative Freedom Through Hands-On Experimentation
This course is built on the joy of discovery. You’ll cut, sew, and then drape your experimental pieces directly on the dress form, making intuitive design decisions and witnessing firsthand how unconventional shapes come to life on the human form.

✅ Create High-Fashion Looks with Surprisingly Simple Techniques
Be amazed as you construct avant-garde tops and dresses using fundamental sewing skills. The magic lies in the innovative pattern shapes and the artful placement of openings, resulting in garments that look like they walked off a high-fashion runway.

✅ Develop Your Unique Design Voice & Confidence
Step outside your comfort zone and find the rewarding surprise of creating something truly original. This course will equip you with a new design language, fostering your artistic confidence and inspiring a more experimental approach to all your future projects.


Journey with us as we explore the concept of unconventional design, starting with basic T-shirt and simple dress forms, then radically reinventing them.

You’ll learn to draft and cut flat patterns based on geometric principles, often omitting traditional necklines or armholes initially.

The real excitement begins when you take these sewn, often abstract, pieces to the dress form.

Here, you’ll experiment with how they hang, where to introduce openings for the head and arms, and how to use simple tucks, gathers, or shifts in drape to sculpt stunning, wearable art.

Prepare to be surprised and delighted by the sophisticated and unique garments you can create by daring to break the rules and play with form.
