Learning Outcomes


On sucessful completion of  this course you will develop the required skills and knowledge as it applies to the development of a pattern from an existing block for an individual size and to meet the styling requirements of the customer; as well as developing the of skills associated with communication, problem solving and planning and organising to interpret design specifications, select procedures and tools and create a pattern. Communication and numeracy skills are used to interpret designs and develop and document pattern specifications. Self management skills are used to test the pattern and ensure conformance to quality standards.


Details of Learning Activities

The course is integrated with LMTFD4001B Apply Design Studio Process to form a a cluster or learning program called Design Studio 1
In this course you will be involved in theoretical and practical tasks.
• You will be required to undertake research outside of regular class times.
• You will integrate skills across the design process and focus on the use and experimentation of design studio processes which will result in the production of a fashion design product which meets a specified brief.
