Module code
BMAFD502
Module title
Fashion Pattern Design
Prescription
This module allows students to further explore fashion design pattern drafting principles. This includes manual pattern drafting and the development of skill in the use of current garment pattern drafting software for the production of patterns for fashion concepts for manufacture.
Students will test and refine patterns through sewing construction procedures.

- 2LEARNING OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
2.1Use a process which advances the structured and reflective refinement of a design problem
identify the problems and issues set in the course brief
complete self-directed research and reflect upon working processes
demonstrate the structured resolution of a process through the generation, regeneration, manipulation, and refinement of ideas
discuss with peers and tutors the individual working process adopted
show evidence of independent and interdependent processes for working
2.2Test and apply flat pattern drafting in the design of more complex garments or fashion products
construct master patterns (BLOCKs) for a range of fashion garments
select and apply pattern manipulation techniques to produce industry level patterns for fashion products
2.3Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of manually drafted flat pattern design grading techniques
apply the techniques of flat pattern grading principles
use measuring techniques to develop a set of graded patterns
2.4 Test and refine patterns through construction procedures
test patterns to sample stage using industrial sewing techniques
design and record modifications to patterns as required for fit ,textiles and construction methods
annotate and label patterns to industry standard
create final patterns to produce fashion garments / products to toile stage
2.5Comprehend the process of a graded assignment
employ a vocabulary for describing work
write own objectives
actively participate in group and class critiques
consider and reflect upon self and peer design processes and decisions
participate in ongoing formative assessment
consider, discuss, and document self and peer performances for graded assessment - Content
