Level 3 Fashion and Textiles
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss N. Neilson.
You will learn how to draft a pattern and adapt it to a design; use complex sewing and construction skills, based on the knowledge developed at L2 and trial a range of advanced applied design techniques such as screen printing, embroidery and applique.
Where does it lead? This is a University Entrance approved course and leads to careers related to fashion, design or materials technology.
Notes: If you are new to FTX and not familiar with basic garment construction or the operation of a sewing machine, you will be expected to attend upskilling opportunities in the department during several lunchtimes at the beginning of the year. This will be essential in acquiring the necessary skills to participate at this advanced level.
What should I have already done?
This course is ideally designed for students who have studied L2FTX.
