This technical course is designed to provide you with the skills, the sensitivity and the knowledge needed to create beautiful garments and environmentally – socially responsible fashion.

The Course
Pattern Making: You will learn how to take accurate measurements, draft patterns using a variety of techniques such as flat pattern-making or draping, and modify patterns to create different styles and sizes. You will explore some design principles, such as proportion, balance, and silhouette.
Sewing and Construction: Traditional sewing techniques, such as hand-sewing, machine-sewing, and finishing techniques. You will also learn about garment construction, including techniques such as lining, pockets, and closures
Finishing and Detailing: You will explore techniques for adding finishing touches to their garments, such as embroidery, beading, or applique
Fabric selection and Sourcing: You will learn about different types of fabrics and how to choose the right fabric for a particular design
Fashion Design: You will create hand sketches and digital designs of their collection. You will also explore material-based design concepts and techniques, such as draping and fabric manipulation.
These technical, hands-on paths will be paired with and enriched with a great understanding of Sustainable fashion, emphasizing the importance of ethical sourcing and zero-waste production and exploring strategies for building a sustainable fashion business, such as sourcing sustainable materials and partnering with ethical suppliers and manufacturers.
