Wk 27 Session 8 Mainly Making - Textiles

1. Session 8
Week 27

2. Formative Feedback:
• Peer/tutor feedback given on existing product
choice and initial technical drawing (Textiles)
Wk27

3. Initial Technical Drawing
• evaluate technical drawing against criteria and
available garment blocks
– Appraise a range of existing manufactured products
with regard to manufacturing requirements (A1);
– Demonstrate a range of appropriate hand and
machine techniques in a material area (textiles) (A2 &
A3);
– Undertake research and investigation in order to
gather relevant information leading to making
functioning products (A1).

4. Available blocks
• P78-89 Hopkins2010
– 3D form draw flat
– Precise
– Linear
– Technical information
– Assembly processes
– Fabrics, trimmings & costing's
– Visual information required for
manufacture

5. Feedback/plenary

6. SDS
• Develop your existing product pattern from
the technical specification into a garment
pattern.
• Select suitable materials to realise your
product.

8. Surface Treatment: designing textiles

9. Starter Activity:
• draw an asymmetric unit within a rectangle

10. learning objectives Learning outcomes
– In this session we will be – to describe the different
developing our knowledge factors affecting textile design
and understanding of how – to identify sources of
textiles fabrics are created. information to support the
– And developing our skills in process
specific textile design – create repeat patterns, use
principles (repeat pattern scale to develop ideas and
creation and scale of size). consider design placement on
products
Undertake research and investigation in
order to gather relevant information leading
to making functioning products (A1).
Demonstrate a range of appropriate hand
and machine techniques in all four material
areas (A2 & A3);

• Inspiration
– Imagery
– Pattern
– Texture
– Colour
– silhouette

14. Break

15. • SDS: Create a mood board on a directional
theme

16. Specific textile design principles
• repeat pattern creation
– Students: photocopy pattern to experiment with
different forms of repeat.
• engineered patterns creation
– Students: photocopy pattern to experiment with
different forms of layout.
• scale of design creation
– Students: photocopy pattern in different scales, to
experiment with different forms of scale and repeat.
