In this course, students will develop skills in pattern drafting and pattern design. Each class is a hands-on experience with students learning to create basic blocks for skirts, bodices and sleeves. After the basics, students will design and shape the blocks into new designs with attractive and functional details. Emphasis on fitting will be part of the classes as we work through each student's skirt, bodice and sleeve portfolio of patterns that have been made into fabric.
The supplies you will need to bring to the first and each class are as follows: pencil, pen, red pencil, eraser, paper scissors, 3 ring binder, drafting triangle (with one side at least 20 to 25cm long), text book (“Metric pattern cutting for Women’s wear” by W. Aldrich, 6th edition), green label scotch tape, straight pins in pin cushion or small box. No sewing machine is required for class, but one needs to be available for use at home to complete homework.
It is recommended for students to take Pattern Design, Textile and Advanced Pattern in sequence.

Blouses, Jackets and Coats will explore pattern design work for these three types of garments and will include all details of sleeves, body sections, collars, lapels and facings. Sleeves will have placket designs and cuffs. Body sections will allow different shapes, different seaming and different ease allowances to create design variation.
Various collar and lapel silhouettes include the notched collar, the shawl collar, the peter pan collar and the full roll collar. Sample work in test copy fabric will be completed to evaluate the success of the designs.
This course builds on the knowledge from Pattern Design. Further topics include pattern drafting for ladies pants, ladies knit wear, lingerie and casual wear. These in-class pattern drafting exercises will lead to design work and test copy work in fabric. Individual fitting evaluation will be possible. Considerations of fabric choices will be a valuable topic for successful design work. There are many possible design experiments to use and try.
Experience with textile selection and/or completion of APPA-1002 - Textiles will be beneficial for participation in the course.
Draping is defined as "creating clothing on a dress form without the use of a pattern". Draping is one of the most fascinating ways to experiment with fabric, body curves and design ideas. We have 1/2 scale dress forms for each student to use in this workshop. Students are also welcome to bring their own personal dress forms.
Supplies to bring to class:
1. 2M of lightweight and light colour cotton fabric, like broadcloth or muslin. (3M if you are bringing your own personal form). Please have fabrics pressed and smooth, ready for use.
2. Fabric scissors, tape measure, hand sewing needle and thread.
3. Straight pins (pins with heads are a good idea) and pin cushion.

The purpose of the Winkler Community Foundation RRC Polytech Award is to provide financial assistance to part-time and short-term program students currently attending RRC Polytech, particularly those who previously did not qualify for a Gordon Wiebe Award. This award aims to support students from Winkler and its surrounding communities by easing financial barriers to education and fostering community engagement. Award recipients will be selected by the RRC Polytech Scholarship Selection Committee, which will assess applicants based on the following eligibility criteria. Applicants must be a current resident of Winkler, MB, reside within the Garden Valley School Division (GVSD) catchment area, or be a former resident of Winkler or the surrounding community with strong demonstrable ties to the area, such as being a GVSD graduate. Eligible applicants must be between the ages of 16 and 35, have obtained a high school diploma or a Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) (formerly GED), and be attending full-time at any RRC Polytech campus. Furthermore, applicants must be pursuing a certificate or diploma program, as full-time degree students are not eligible. In addition to meeting the eligibility criteria, the selection committee will also consider key factors such as contribution to the community, academic achievement, financial need, and strength of character. The general application form should be accompanied by a short statement outlining any contributions to the community and how this award will help them achieve their educational goals. The administration of the Winkler Community Foundation RRC Polytech Award will be a collaborative effort between the Winkler Community Foundation and RRC Polytech, ensuring the award is distributed in alignment with its intended purpose of fostering educational success and community involvement. Application deadline is October 15th. Please note the name of the award to enter on the application form. Once the application is submitted, instructions will be provided for submitting the required documents.
