FS 1320 - Technical Studio I


Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio

This freshman-level course focuses on the fundamentals of sewing, pattern drafting, draping, and garment construction techniques while introducing students to design thinking and creative methods to extrapolate and develop design ideas beyond the basic sloper. Students will also be introduced to 3D exploration and technology, sketch-based ideation, and small-scale sampling to fully explore design and construction possibilities.

Notes: (Formerly used FS 1310 Construction I: Industry Sewing Basics)


Course Learning Outcomes:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of proper industrial sewing machine maintenance and operation.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the basic garment parts, assembly, finishing, and construction.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of body measurements, fit and morphology, and the basic principles of pattern making and draping.
  • Conduct design exploration beyond the sloper through 3D experimentation and sampling. 
  • Apply design thinking, iteration development, research, and inspiration collection through effective use of sketchbooking.
  • Demonstrate the basic use of 3D technology to create digital 2D patterns.
