FASH 127 CAD: PATTERN DESIGN I (4 CR)
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to
apply the use of flat pattern methods in developing patterns for original
apparel designs. Basic slopers and the CAD (computer-assisted design) Pattern
Design System will be used to develop and manipulate patterns. The class will
use lecture, demonstration and hands-on experience to teach skills needed in
manual and computer-assisted pattern design. The student will plan and create
patterns in this class. 2 hrs. lecture, 4 hrs. lab/wk.

Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course the student should
be able to:
- Demonstrate the knowledge of pattern drafting in the
designing, manipulation, and development of patterns using manual and CAD
drafting systems.
- Recognize the role of the basic sloper in the development
of patterns.
- Identify terminology of manual pattern drafting and CAD
commands that are consistent to industry pattern drafting systems.
- Perform fitting and alteration of basic sloper pattern to
personal specifications.
- Develop a direction sheet as well as other instructional
materials to facilitate the construction preparation techniques, including
choice and preparation of fabric, pattern layout, marking and cutting for a
newly created pattern.
- Select and use appropriate drafting tools including but not
limited to a designer's neckline curve, French curve, hip curve, ruler and L
square.
- Create a marker for a pattern both manually and by
inputting data into CAD system.
- Demonstrate the application of pattern drafting principles
in the development of patterns.
- Evaluate personal figure and construction skill level in
making decisions during the design process of a pattern.
- Calculate the optimum fabric utilization using the CAD
pattern system.
- Perform methods of organization, storage, and retrieval of
patterns within a CAD system.
- Designate the growth areas within a pattern to grade
according to an X and Y scale.
- Recognize the possible ramifications of choices made for
pattern, fabric, and personal body type on the planning and construction
process.
