At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Create patterns for sewn products and apparel using PWStudio, a
CAD program specifically designed for small businesses in the sewing
industry.
2. Draw final designs, illustrations, assembly diagrams and flats (line
drawings) for the sewn product or garment.
3. Develop existing sloper patterns to create custom-fitted garment
patterns for men, women and children.
4. Create complex pattern designs from drawings for sewn products
and apparel in standard size ranges.
5. Grade developed patterns for selected sizes using the manufacturer's
grade for those sizes.
6. Compose single fabric layer cutting markers for multiple production.
7. Computer archive design components, account information, customer
statistics, slopers and pattern designs.
8. Plot/print patterns to full scale and scaled using a variety of
methods and hardware.
9. Design and draw surface designs for pattern applique and textile
printing.
10. Import and export patterns by Internet to a companion computer.
11. Create a portfolio of a small apparel or product line that includes an
example of each deliverable (billable) throughout the pattern
production cycle for business and individual marketing and sales
promotion.
12. 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

Representative assignments:
Problem solving:
Using PWStudio:
1. Develop six half-scale practice patterns to solve fitting and
alteration problems.
2. Develop ten half-scale practice patterns to solve simple and
complex original pattern designs, including all text and symbols
necessary for construction of the products.

b. Three "Flats" (line drawings) of illustrations showing
construction details.
c. Three assembly diagrams for non-English speaking employees.
d. Two surface design details for applied or printed decoration of
finished pattern or textile.

4. Create three printed graded nests of standard sizes and one custom
graded size for specialty markets.
5. Grade three developed patterns for selected sizes using manufacturer's
grade for those sizes.
6. Develop existing slopers for six sizing categories to create custom
fitting basic patterns for men, women and children, including the
disabled.
