Level 2 Technology - Textiles
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss H. Duncan.
This course covers an introduction to the skills required to independently follow and execute an intermediate sewing pattern.
Students will learn advanced construction skills, pattern reading, prototyping, design illustration, researching design origins and technological modelling for hand embroidery, screen printing, beadwork, fabric dyeing, logo design, and vinyl heat press.
There will be the opportunity to enter design competitions toward the latter half of the year.
Beyond physical sewing skills, in this course students will investigate the following: the history and development of specific garments, symbolism through fashion, and the design cycle.
Students will aim to complete one tailored shirt with laser cut buttons and an applied design.
Once finished their shirt and book work, students are free to use their remaining time in this class to explore new techniques and make an unmarked garment of their choosing.
