This is a totally practical workshop! Learn how to adapt the patterns to create 18 garments and how your students can easily adapt the patterns to suit their theme and techniques. The patterns are student friendly, with no darts, zips or sizing. We will be looking at how to add a variety of techniques to the toiles, there will be lots of exemplar outcomes by theme and product. We will also be looking at the sustained focus/supervised time, schemes of work and much more. All templates and guides will be available to download. We will also be looking at fashion illustration linked to the patterns and fashion designers for inspiration.

What you take back to school:

The Creative Pattern and Garment making face-to-face course is an experience that delivers textiles skills, knowledge and understanding. It is a great learning environment which allows you to gain new skills and techniques and develop classroom resources, showing how these can be incorporated in lesson plans and delivered in a fun, inspiring and engaging way. You can ask questions direct to the course developer/leader, practice new skills and network with other teachers.

“Textile candidates’ personal portfolios were brimming with ideas, experiments and references to textile and fashion designers as well as fine artists. Overall, the submission was exceptional in the engagement and industry and imaginative use of materials.’ 

"In Textiles, the standard of the work was outstanding…....The course structure was strong. Finished pieces were often exciting and innovative. The individuality of the candidates was clearly seen in the diversity of colours, styles and techniques carefully annotated in work books and then displayed in the final outcomes.”

“The course gave candidates a very strong framework on which to build a response to the theme. Ideas were developed showing depth and thought so that the work of the highest achieving candidates was original, creative and in-depth.”
