Patternmaking

Spring 2012: January 30 - May 21

PM 121 Patternmaking I: Misses' and Women's Wear
3 credits
In-state $523 Out-of-state $1,516
(includes $25.00 patternmaking fee)
In this course, students learn to develop basic body slopers using standard specification measurements. Collars and basic sleeve shapes are made. Paper patterns, as well as a final fabric sample, are developed. Students learn the importance of fit and balance in order to create a high-quality production pattern. Specifications are discussed in relation to both pattern development and finished garment measurements.

PM 122 Patternmaking II: Misses' and Women's Wear
3 credits
In-state $523 Out-of-state $1,516
(includes $25.00 patternmaking fee)
Prerequisite: PM 121
Utilizing the basic slopers, students develop additional patterns for style variations using the slopers developed in PM 121. Patterns are developed for bodice, torso, and sleeves. A variety of skirt slopers are developed. Pattern corrections are made according to fit, balance, and specification measurements. Final patterns and fabric samples acceptable for mass production are created.

3 credits 
In-state $523 Out-of-state $1,516
(includes $25.00 patternmaking fee)
Prerequisites: PM 122
Students learn the necessary details involved in developing linings, facings, fusibles, stays, and stampers for both tops and bottoms. Pant and jacket slopers are created, with a strong emphasis on fit. Multiple construction techniques are discussed. A final fabric sample is developed with all the specification measurements and construction details necessary for manufacturing.
