Learning Outcomes
PLANNED LEARNING EXPERIENCES
1. Identification of fibres by means of activities in comparing and testing a range of natural and synthetic fibres.
2. Analysis of methods used to construct yarns, by means of an examination of manufacturing processes such as spinning, twisting and blending and by identifying how the construction of yarns effects the properties of final products.
The construction of materials used in garment manufacture, for example fabrics, interlinings and sewing threads. Activities include industry visits simulations and comparison of processes used to construct woven, knitted and non-woven materials
Overview of Assessment
Tasks that have not been authenticated in class as the student’s own work will not be considered for assessment. Regular attendance is necessary to demonstrate that you can:
1. Follow appropriate Occupational Health and Safety procedures by demonstrating an ability to safely analyse and test materials used for garment manufacture
2. Describe the properties of a range of natural and synthetic fibres used in clothing production by making use of correct terms that identify the characteristics, uses and limitations of the fibres
3. Differentiate between the methods of yarn construction by identifying different yarn features and by explaining the general processes used in their production.
4. Differentiate between various methods of fabric construction by using correct terms that describe construction methods and characteristics.
