Overview

Introducing the human body in the design of clothing and identifying the types of stitches and their functions, then studying the basic pattern of the skirt and the types of modifications that may be made to it to extract designs from it, such as the oversized skirt, the tight skirt, and the pleated skirt.The second part of the course deals with the study of all types of stitches, whether simple or complex, and how to implement them manually by the student. The last part of the course aims to get to know the upper pattern (corsage), then focus on the chest press, and study the most important conjugations of the chest pincer.

Laboratory projects

Executing the basic pattern of the skirt using paper, with making some types of the skirt as an assignment to be delivered in the middle of the semester, with drawing a miniature model of the basic skirt to be placed in the student’s work file (classier), then executing the stitches and placing them in the same file successively and in an organized manner. The student submits the classier at the end of the semester to be evaluated by the course instructor

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the student will be able to implement different types of skirts, and create modifications from his own design, and be able to implement the basic stitches that he needs in his daily life, in addition to his ability to understand how to draw a flat pattern for corsage and how to modify chest pincer

Teaching and learning methods

Theoretical lectures, which constitute 30% of the total lectures and 70% of the practical lectures in which the student learns, trains and exercises practical training for what he studied in the theoretical lectures.

Methods of assessments

The student is evaluated by conducting one midterm exam that represents 20% of the total evaluation, 10% commitment to attendance at lectures, 20% on the student’s work file, which is delivered at the end of the semester, then a final exam at the end of the semester with an evaluation rate of 50%. Midterm and final exams are dominated by The practical side of the questions
