What if I've never created a tech pack before?+
Perfect. This course is designed for beginners. We start with the absolute basics and build up to professional-level tech packs step by step.
Do I need experience with Adobe Illustrator?+
No. The course includes an intro to flat sketching in Illustrator so you can start from zero. The core tech pack work is done in Google Sheets, which is free.
What software do I need?+
Google Sheets (free) or Excel for the tech pack work, and Adobe Illustrator for the sketching portions. Most lessons are demonstrated in Google Sheets, though we also provide an Illustrator template if you prefer to work entirely in Illustrator.
How long does it take to complete the course?+
The course is designed as a 10-week system with about 2 to 3 hours of work per week. That said, it's completely self-paced so go faster or slower depending on your schedule.
Will these templates work for all types of garments?+
Yes. The course teaches fundamental principles that apply to any garment type. The templates and lessons are flexible enough to adapt from simple basics to more complex styles.
What's included in the starter templates?+
You get a complete tech pack template for Google Sheets and Adobe Illustrator, basic spec sheets for tops, bottoms, dresses, and tailored jackets, plus how-to-measure guides you can send directly to your manufacturers.
How is this different from free tech pack information on YouTube?+
This is a complete, structured system, not scattered information from multiple sources. You get professional templates used by major brands, step-by-step guidance from an industry veteran, and a clear progression from zero to production-ready documentation.
Can I use these tech packs with overseas manufacturers?+
Absolutely. The course teaches industry-standard formats recognized by manufacturers worldwide, including detailed specifications designed to overcome language barriers.
How long do I have access to the course?+
A one-time purchase gives you this course and its current content for one year. (If you purchase this course as part of a bundle, you'll receive lifetime access.)
What if I have questions while taking the course?+
The course includes instructor Q&A so you can get your specific questions answered by Mikelle directly. You'll also be able to learn from other students' questions along the way.
