FAS441 Construction III

[1–3, 3 cr.]

This intermediate workshop teaches students the skills and planning necessary for producing tailored garments. During the first half of  the semester students work with a standard jacket pattern in the production of a jacket toile. This includes use of interlinings, developing different pocket types through to shoulder pads, buttonholes and correct methods for pressing and finishing. These skills consolidate previous Construction workshops and underpin the standards required for the final major project. The second half to the semester is spent realizing garments from Design III and Pattern Cutting III. Students learn through demonstrations, practical workshop exercises and individual tutorials.
