Key to any garment production is the development of an accurate Pattern to permit the design to be realised in its final form. This requires the original designs worked up into working drawings and then working out the Pattern solution.
Students will be able to compare and contrast the uses of traditional manual pattern cutting with modern computer based pattern development and cutting. This allows complex Patterns to be developed and adapted to ensure maximum fabric efficiency per given design.
Once the designs have been translated into working documents students can develop flat Pattern cutting, drafting, modelling on the stand techniques before undertaking more complex cutting and construction that will required for the production of their capsule collection.

Prepare a series of designs and translate them to working documents and then to Patterns. (50%).

Prepare a file of evidence and development plan of how you selected the production technology best suited to your design (50%)

The learning strategy for the module requires students to commit 300 learning hours, of this there will be 75 hours of class support and 225 hours of independent and self directed study.

Lectures/ lab work/ Presentations /Tutorial
Student managed learning/ directed learning

Apart from the lecture each week, various other methods as mentioned above will be used as learning strategies.
There will be laboratory and tutorial sessions, students will be required to discuss and present various topics of the module in the class. Students will be required to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts.
Students are expected to be able to structure their own work and to work relatively independently under the guidance of the module teaching staff.
