Flat Pattern is a technical course that introduces students to the drafting of garment patterns from body measurements. The course requires consumables related to drafting paper patterns in the garment construction process. In addition, sewing machines are used throughout the course, which require a variety of consumables such as bobbins, needles, and thread.
The requested increase in course material fee reflects the accurate cost of supplies required for students to participate in the course. Many of the items included are supplies that are less expensive when purchased in bulk, such as oak tag paper used to make pattern blocks.
Lastly, the trend forecasting resource, WGSN, is an essential tool for students in this course to use in research. This platform includes a library of digital garment flats, which are essential references for students learning to draft patterns by hand. In addition, access to the knowledge provided by this digital resource exposes all students in the Fashion Design and Merchandising program to industry standards in regard to the development and marketing of fashion products.
