About the Course

Watch all the video lessons from the DVD previously included with the 5th edition of Pattern Making for Fashion Design by Helen Joseph Armstrong.

The CAD lessons are based on the manual methods in the text to develop the basic pattern set for Missy size 10, which form the basis for all the foundations and design projects.

The tools used in TUKAcad emulate the tools used manually (scissors, tape measure, rulers, etc.). TUKAcad is a user-friendly self-learning Windows-based application taught and used by thousands of educators, students and professionals throughout the world. The CAD tools and methods used coincide directly with Helen's step-by-step instructions listed in the book.
