Analyse Garment Construction

Be exposed to the techniques employed in the fashion industry now. Learn how to identify the various pattern pieces of selected basic garments.  With this knowledge, you can minimize impractical designs that cannot be replicated in mass production, eliminate misinterpretation in sampling and production, and improve communication in production specifications.

In this course, you will dive deep into the world of garment construction. You will learn how to identify and use a variety of functional stitch types, as well as how to identify the various pattern pieces of basic garments.

Be exposed to the techniques employed in the fashion industry now. Learn how to identify the various pattern pieces of selected basic garments.  With this knowledge, you can minimize impractical designs that cannot be replicated in mass production, eliminate misinterpretation in sampling and production, and improve communication in production specifications.

Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to practice recommending suitable functional stitches and seam constructions for different fabric types and garment styles. You will also become familiar with ASTM D6193 standards, which provide guidelines for sewing and construction techniques in the fashion industry.

By the end of this course, you will have a thorough understanding of garment construction techniques and be able to apply this knowledge to your own projects.
