Arkdefo - Invidious

Arkdefo

Stop copying patterns. Start designing clothes.

Most sewing education teaches you how to follow instructions.
But designing garments is a different skill.

This channel explains how clothes actually work - from pattern blocks and garment balance to fabric behaviour and design decisions.

Once you understand the structure behind clothing, and finally get that "A-HA!" moment, you are no longer limited to repeating patterns.

You can design garments that truly fit your body, your preferences and your life.
This is where clothes making becomes creative.

Arkdefo is an independent clothes-making school focused on design thinking, pattern blocks and understanding garment structure.
We also run a 100% natural fibre deadstock fabric shop.
