Course Description
In this course you will further develop your garment pattern making skills, including using your own library of pattern making blocks. You will produce specification sheets, which include detailed technical drawings.to communicate your design ideas and provide you with the required information to produce a finished pattern, following common fashion industry practices. The patterns developed will be a for a wide range of styles, fabric and fit requirements.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
1. Investigate a range of pattern making methods and their applications for a wide range of styles
2. Analyse and apply your knowledge of patternmaking principles, produce a variety of patterns.
3. Analyse pattern design problems and determine suitable patternmaking principles to achieve design requirements and identify any production problems
4. Create patterns to reflect test fitting outcomes and quality standards and produce pattern specifications to support this development process.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be engaged in learning that involves a range of class activities such as practical exercises, group and class discussion, group activities/projects. You will also be required to undertake online and self-directed learning outside of class time.
During this course you will develop patterns from blocks and produce a library of patterns for use in your class activities and assessment tasks.
