Learning how to design a garment through flat pattern drafting and sewing from scratch can bring an empowering life skill and knowledge into your life because it will open so many great doors of opportunity for your future. These trade and life skills can alter your fate and destiny by providing you with an alternative passive source of income or even a full-time six-figure salary. Sewing, pattern drafting, French draping, pattern grading and preparing Tech Pack are the only trade and life skills you will ever need to become a successful professional designer. In fact, if you are willing to invest the time to master all these trade and life skills, you are almost guaranteed to have a long-lasting fashion career.
In these modern times, it is imperative to have real trade skills for your career because the technology of artificial intelligence is slowly taking over the world. Luckily, (AI) robots do not yet have the dexterity of human hands to work with and handle soft, delicate or stretchy fabrics, nor are they be able to do the fine beading in the world of Haute Couture, or create complex garment designs without a real human creative and artistic mind. In the fashion industry, it is simply too costly and not feasible for any fashion company to use AI technology and robots to replace human designers, tailors, seamstresses, production sewers, and sample makers around the world. It will most likely take another hundred years before any robotic technology can replace the entire human labour force of the global fashion industry.
The sad reality is that our world will eventually be taken over by AI in the near future, which means that many of the professional degrees offered today by academic universities and colleges will disappear or become obsolete. However, the fashion industry will not be as greatly affected by the technological changes brought by AI. As a matter of fact, there will be an even a greater demand for skilled workers in the fashion trade over the next 25 years because many of the Boomers, Generation Xers and Millennials will retire over the next couple of decades. There will be huge shortages of skilled workers in the apparel industry. So, this is the perfect time and opportunity to prepare yourself for the future.
When you choose fashion design as your career, you do not need to go to a fashion design school to succeed. These days, you no longer need a fashion degree or diploma to start your own fashion line.
