Description

This is an intermediate level course meeting concurrent with FIBR 264, students will be working on more advanced level projects than those enrolled in FIBR 264. This class is a technical course that covers basic sewn construction techniques. You will become familiar with home/industrial machines, sergers, and their functions and well as hand applications. Students will be introduced to an industry approach through process, construction, terms and troubleshooting. We will set sewing goals for individual work following a series of class assignments. Creating a ?sew-by? binder will showcase the mastery of presented and practiced techniques, customized to show the individual sewer's personal construction style. Students will learn the basics of pattern marketing/altering for a diverse application of sewn construction. This course will include multiple pieces, independently designed/constructed by each student. Sewing experience welcomed but not required.
