The Challenge

Are Traditional Methods Holding You Back?

Honor your craft while embracing the digital revolution.

Sample Costs vs. Creative Vision

Your artistic vision deserves unlimited exploration, but $100-500 per sample limits what you can try. True artisans should not have to choose between craft and budget.

Slow Craftsmanship in a Fast World

Your meticulous attention to detail is your strength, but waiting weeks for samples breaks your creative flow and momentum.

Bridging Traditional and Digital

You know digital tools are the future, but you don't want to lose what makes your work yours. The good news: you don't have to choose.

Elevating Your Craft

Flat sketches can only go so far. When you're pitching to buyers or presenting to clients, your designs deserve to be seen at their full potential.

This is the perfect course for people who never used the software before and feels intimidated. Mikelle's videos are concise but with plenty of information and easy to understand. After every lesson, there is an activity to do so you can practice on your own. The course is for beginners but you learn how to create finished garments and render in CLO 3D. I feel confident now and not intimidated anymore!

Hands down the best course to learn CLO-3D in just a matter of days. The video lessons are short, detailed, and easy to follow along with. I loved the visual callouts so that you know exactly which function to select, or which pull down menus to use for each step. You start with the foundation of the software and build up learning how to add trims, fabrics, customizing avatars and so much more. You will be amazed how fast you will be drafting garment patterns both in 2D and 3D. I really enjoyed having a chance to practice each lesson and submit it for feedback as well as the quick responses to any questions I had. If you are a beginner or work in the industry this course will most definitely level up your digital patterning making skills…

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be an expert after taking this course?+
You will have solid foundational skills and be able to create professional garments. Like any skill, mastery comes with practice, but this course gives you everything you need to start using CLO3D profitably in your business immediately.
Do I need fashion design experience?+
Basic understanding of garment construction is helpful but not required. The course is designed for fashion entrepreneurs at all levels, from beginners to experienced designers looking to go digital.
What if CLO3D feels too technical for me?+
The course breaks everything down into manageable steps. If you can use a computer and follow instructions, you can learn CLO3D. Plus, you have 5 days to try it risk-free.
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.)
Can I use CLO3D on my iPad?+
No. There is currently no 3D fashion design software that runs on an iPad. It does not have enough RAM or hard drive space to support CLO3D.
What do I need to take the course?+
You will need basic computer skills, a working knowledge of garment construction, a CLO3D license, a computer that meets the CLO3D minimum requirements (available on the CLO website), and a 3-button mouse. Having two devices or two monitors, one to watch lessons and one to work on, is recommended but not required.
How is this different from free CLO3D tutorials on YouTube?+
Free tutorials are scattered and inconsistent. You spend hours searching for answers and piecing together incomplete information. This course provides a structured, step-by-step system that takes you from complete beginner to creating professional garments. More importantly, you learn how to integrate CLO3D into your actual business workflow, not just how to use the software, but how to make it work for your fashion brand.
What if I have questions while taking the course?+
The course includes access to instructor Q&A where you can get your specific questions answered and learn from other students' questions as well.
