This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit will provide the basic technical skills and abilities essential to begin interpreting design ideas into 3D garment forms. Students participate in workshops that incorporate flat pattern making and garment construction where they learn the techniques and specifications required to generate design ideas and concepts into realised outcomes. It further develops understanding and technical abilities in flat pattern making and garment construction, which allow students to gain a critical understanding of block construction and the possibilities of producing more complex design solutions through pattern development. Technical content will be linked to self-directed research and journal work.

In practical classes students are shown flat patternmaking, garment sewing and construction methods by the lecturer as class demonstrations followed by student participation. Technical processes are supported with instructional material, industry level textbook references and visual recording available on blackboard. Once key methods have been introduced, students apply acquired skills to develop self-directed design outcomes with support and feedback from the lecturer and technician.
