Fabric Technology - Celebrating Student Success in the senior school

Year 12 and 13 Fabric Technology students begun the development of their garments by drafting basic blocks which they used to create their final patterns later on. These are made to their personal measurements, to ensure an accurate fit.

The pictures include: 

Briar and Solly. Briar made a corset top, and Solly completed a 3 piece suit - he drafted and sewed the trousers last year in year 12, and this year he is completing his suit by making the suit jacket and a vest. 

Grace, in year 12, is drafting her trouser block. Grace used this to develop her design further after she has made a toile or mock-up to ensure her patternmaking was correct.

In year 11, students used commercial patterns, which they altered to represent their design choices. Amber, completed her initial designs and used the pattern she has purchased. 

It was an excellent start to the year for senior students.
