Do you have a knack for fashion, and are wanting to make a career move, or consolidate your existing knowledge? Then we might have just the course for you. Sewing techniques are sometimes overlooked in the design process, but acquiring these skills can be transformational. The ability to turn a two-dimensional design into its three-dimensional realisation comes from having mastered basic sewing techniques. Sewing Techniques simplifies the often complex techniques that lie behind this process by arming designers with the precise information and skills needed to undertake each task.
Designers who develop a basic understanding of the processes involved in sample and garment construction often produce successful outcomes based on a more experimental and creative approach applied during the product development process. Developing a sample folio and being able to refer to samples and develop them according to each individual design project is a process that requires experimentation and creative thought underpinned by a basic understanding of sewing techniques. This course explores the essential equipment needed – from fabric types to diagrams identifying component parts of a sewing machine, to machine operation.
