Developing soft goods design skills

Hi Dixie_Designs! I ended up in a similar situation. I LOVE softgoods and want to steer my career in that direction, but in ID school, we really didn’t get any formal training on softgoods. So most of my experience is self education and my sewing classes from 4-H (when I was :sunglasses:.

I found this website called sewheidi.com about 3 months ago. She has a ton of youtube tutorials on illustrator for tech packs, brush shortcuts, and line drawings. She also covers physical sewing techniques - I’m pretty sure she’s a fashion designer, but it all kinda merges together. It’s a good start for self education.

If you find any more resources or things that end up working for you, you should post them. I’d love to get some more ideas on softgood education! Good Luck!
