What This Decision Tree Helps You Do

  • Know where to start — break any garment down into clear drafting decisions before you touch paper or software

  • Stop second-guessing your patterns by understanding what’s structural, decorative, and actually shaping the fit

  • Draft with confidence (especially in CLO3D) by testing intentional decisions instead of guessing and fixing later

Hi, I’m Christina HadleyDike Roosevelt

I'm a master pattern maker + digital sewing educator. I help sewists feel confident using tools like CLO3D by breaking complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. And when I’m not drafting patterns, you’ll most likely find me out on my bike, exploring new routes and enjoying a good adventure.

Design analysis isn’t overthinking.

It’s how pattern makers make better decisions before drafting.

Professional pattern makers don’t start by guessing.
They pause, analyze, and decide what the garment actually needs before opening software or drawing lines.

This free Decision Tree gives you that same clarity — without making things complicated.

Inside the Design Analysis Decision Tree, you’ll learn how to:

Break a garment down into clear, manageable decisions

Identify what’s structural vs decorative

Choose the right starting point before drafting

Avoid unnecessary rework and frustration

Feel more confident opening CLO3D (or drafting by hand)

This isn’t a checklist you have to memorize.

It’s a thinking tool you can come back to again and again

This Decision Tree is perfect if you:

Are new to design analysis and want it explained simply

Sew confidently but feel unsure when drafting from scratch

Are learning CLO3D and want your decisions to feel intentional

Want to stop guessing and start trusting your process

You don’t need to be advanced.
You just need a clearer way to think.It’s a thinking tool you can come back to again and again

When you know what decisions you’re making and why, tools like CLO3D become much easier to use.

Instead of:

randomly adjusting, chasing fit issues, wondering if you’re doing it “right”

You start using CLO3D as a testing and visualization space — not a guessing game.

(This way of thinking is also a core foundation inside my CLO3D Quickstart course, if you decide you want more structure later.)
