Hey Reader, One of the most common questions I get from aspiring fashion designers is whether they need traditional pattern making skills before diving into using 3D fashion design software. It's a valid concern that stops many talented designers from exploring this exciting technology. The truth might surprise you! While pattern making knowledge is no doubt helpful, it's not the barrier many think it is. 3D fashion design software has evolved to be more intuitive and accessible than ever before, opening doors for designers with diverse backgrounds and skill levels. In my latest YouTube video, I break down exactly what you need to know and give you practical advice on how to approach 3D fashion design regardless of your current skill level. Watch it now on the 383 Design Studio YouTube channel. Whether you're a seasoned pattern maker or someone who's never drafted a pattern in their life, this video will give you the clarity you need to move forward confidently in your fashion design journey. Happy designing! Mikelle |
