COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to utilize the

basic skills of flat pattern making to interpret a garment design and

garment.

Objectives of this course: Students will be able to:

Compare body measurements to pattern pieces in order to make

necessary alterations for a proper fit, for themselves or for others.

Create a basic sloper used for pattern design which will fit their

personal body proportions.

pattern pieces.

Manipulate the basic sloper pattern to create patterns for various

parts of a garment, including, but not limited to:  bodices, skirts,

pants, sleeves, collars, dresses.

Create a final pattern with accurate markings, including grain lines

and seam allowances, which could be used and understood by others.

Demonstrate their understanding of the above processes by designing

two full-scale garments from their personal sloper and completing

one garment in fashion fabric.

Understand some ways in which computers are used in flat pattern

development in the fashion industry.

Topics and Scope
