Catalog Description:

The student will learn basic patternmaking skills using the Flat Pattern Method. A basic fitting pattern is developed and used to create patterns for original, individual designs.  Patterns for skirts, pants, tops, dresses, sleeves, collars, and knits are discussed. Construction of a garment from an original design and pattern required.

COURSE CONTENT

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

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1.  Apply the basic skills of flat pattern making to interpret a garment design and successfully translate it into a paper pattern and a final, completed garment.

2.  Compare body measurements to pattern pieces in order to make necessary alterations for a proper fit, for themselves or for others.

3.  Create a basic sloper used for pattern design which will fit their personal body proportions.

4.  Interpret three-dimensional garment designs into two-dimensional "flat" pattern pieces.

5.  Manipulate the basic sloper pattern to create patterns for various parts of a garment, including, but not limited to: bodices, skirts, pants, sleeves, collars, and dresses.

6.  Create a final pattern with accurate markings, including grainlines and seam allowances, which could be used and understood by others.

7.  Demonstrate the above processes by designing 2 full-scale garments from their personal sloper and completing one garment in fashion fabric.

8.  Research some ways in which computers are used in flat pattern development in the fashion industry.

9.  Based on subsequent repeats, students will be able to apply techniques to:

       a. increasingly complex applications

       b. increasingly complex patterns

       c. fabric manipulation with a variety of fabric textures

       d. increasingly complex fitting issues and adjustments

       e. gain confidence and speed

Topics and Scope

I.    Measurements for Proper Fitting

II.   Alterations of Basic Pattern

III.  Fitting and Final Adjustments of Basic Fitting Shell

IV.  Interpreting 3-D Design into Flat Pattern Pieces

V.   Creation and Use of Basic Cardboard Sloper from Fitted Shell

VI.  Using Sloper to Create Basic Designs:

        A. Bodices

        B. Skirts and pants

        C. Dresses

        D. Sleeves

        E. Collars

        F. Coats and jackets

VII.   Flat Pattern Techniques for Personal and Industry Use

VIII.  Basic Demonstration of Computer Use for Flat Pattern Design

IX.    Repeating students will be receive advanced techniques and more complex concepts.

Assignments:

1.  Practice pattern designs in 1/4'' or 1/2'' scale (6-half scale; 1-sloper/foundation; 1-final full scale pattern fashion garment)

2.  Complete a fitting shell and personal cardboard sloper

3.  Complete 2 garment designs including 2 full scale paper patterns with complete and accurate markings

4.  Create a garment in fabric using one of the 2 patterns

5.  Read from text; 5 to 15 pages per week

6.  Quizzes (2 to 3), mid-term

7.  Repeating students will be expected to produce more complex projects

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 10 - 30%
Homework problems: practice pattern design
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 50 - 70%
Fitting shell and cardboard sloper, full-scale garments with patterns, final garment in fabric
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 10 - 20%
Exams: multiple choice, true false, matching, completion, short essay
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 10 - 20%
