Fashion & Interior Design

For Introductory, Basic and Advanced Sewing and Beginning Tailoring courses.

Hands-on in approach, this text/workbook introduces students to the most current methods, techniques, terminology, and equipment used specifically in sample room sewing (as opposed to home sewing) — which simulates mass production procedures. Using step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and varied projects, it guides students through a full range of techniques — from the fundamentals of sewing to the more advanced procedures.

• Uses a workbook format — with projects and clear, step-by-step instructions and illustrations of the fundamentals of each project.

• Assesses different parts of a garment based on mass production methods used in the sample room.

• Demonstrates sample room sewing techniques appropriate for different manufacturing procedures — highlighting their importance in the relationship of design to the final garment.

• Covers not only the standard way of doing a project, but presents short-cuts used by designers in the sample room — and compatible with factory procedures — highlighting the highest level of requirements for sewing a quality garment.

• Greatly expands content to include:

  • Additional tools.

  • Additional fabrics.

  • Sample room layout.
