WHY IT WORKS

Design-focused

Create a pattern for your own design — instead of learning generic pattern making theory

Why CLIQD is different:

  • Block drafting is technical, time-consuming and most people hate it — so Leigh did it for you.
  • Clear, illustrated instructions walk you through the entire pattern making process — from design idea to production-ready pattern.
  • Practical skills and design-specific details other books simply don't teach

HOW IT WORKS

Leigh's Designer Pattern Process

Each Guide follows the exact same process industry professional use — broken down into four clear stages

What's in the Guide:

  • Stage 1 — Make a Plan: Map out exactly what changes your design needs before you touch the block
  • Stage 2 — Build Your Base: Start transforming the block into your design's silhouette
  • Stage 3 — Unleash Your Creativity: Bring your idea to life with design details tailored specifically to your block's silhouette
  • Stage 4 — Finish Your Pattern: True your seams, select your finishes and label everything correctly so it's production-ready

What they're saying...

  • "Finding an oversized shirt block was the best thing that could have ever happened! Now, I can have a block where everything is there and can be used for many loose designs. The guide is also a treasure trove, filled with many details that not only focus on the pattern but also a lot of useful references and tips for sewing. It is like a little guidebook with many applications. I would say a job well done!"

    -Nemo, MUSÉE POUDRE

  • "I used this kit to make a dress for my graduation, and I got so many compliments! I’ve always sewn my own clothes, but this is the first time I’ve been able to wear my own design 💕"

    -Cat, Etsy Buyer

  • "I wish I had found this pattern kit sooner. I use commercial patterns but they are hard to source and I could not find the pattern and fit I wanted, so I took the plunge and tried to make my own pattern. I had always felt overwhelmed when trying to do this before, but the guide is very detailed and each step is clearly explained and illustrated, so its easy for beginners to use."

    -Robyn, Etsy Buyer

  • "Can’t recommend this kit enough! I’ve just finished my first pattern and I’m going to use the kit again for another dress. I also reached out to Leigh with a couple of pattern questions and she was really helpful."

    -Rebecca, Etsy Buyer

  • "I was surprised by the amount of information in the guide. The instructions are clear and well illustrated too. The block is easy to sew and the guide shows you how to fit the block to your measurements exactly. My design was a bit complicated so it took a while to make the pattern, but I'm so happy with the result."
