10 Fashion and Textiles Technology

Students will create a range of textile products over the year. The products made during the course will involve students in:

1. Using commercial garment patterns
2. Developing their own patterns for products they have designed
3. Learning about fabrics and their properties
4. Developing hand sewing skills
5. Developing machine stitching skills
6. Learning how to manipulate fabrics
7. Learning how to design

This course extends on from the Year 9 course and builds upon it by introducing new techniques as well as introducing garment construction.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be costs for materials for take home products.
