Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss H. Duncan.

This course covers an introduction to the skills required to independently follow and execute an advanced sewing pattern.
Students will learn advanced construction skills, pattern reading, design illustration, researching design origins and technological modelling.
There will be the opportunity to enter design competitions toward the latter half of the year and work on developing portfolios for tertiary applications.
