i spoke to someone there last year, but she said they dont let you keep the pattern if they draw it up for you? maybe doing the initial bit myself would be a better idea..
I remember the two minutes I spent doing my fashion diploma at Massey - how the teachers were REALLY urging us to go into the industry as pattern-makers because there was such a severe lack of decent pattern makers.
I dunno, but for my money I'd do the pattern making myself and get some slavey to do the sewing. I prefer doing the patternmaking and design stage, and the sewing is the cheapest element for me to farm out to an outworker.
not much help at the moment, but I'm looking at working in Auckland next year and I'd be happy to moonlight doing pattern making/grading for you... I would work from a sketch *grin* seeing as I do it all the time at the moment.
