Description
In this module, Textile and Fashion Industry Training Centre is excited to show learners the joy of making clothes through learning important apparel making techniques. This module focuses on making a full A-line skirt from scratch using one's own taken body measurements.
The module will take a step-by-step approach to ensure that learners will understand each step in the process. Initially, learners will be introduced to fabric recommendations and basic sewing tools suitable for an A-line skirt. Learners will learn how to take their own measurements (or the measurements of others) before proceeding to create a basic block pattern of an A-line skirt. Using this pattern, learners will then be taught how to fully draft the skirt and ultimately sew it.
