designing for textiles
DESCRIPTION
Wk 27 Session 8 Mainly Making - TextilesTRANSCRIPT
Session 8
Week 27
Formative Feedback:
• Peer/tutor feedback given on existing product choice and initial technical drawing (Textiles) Wk27
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).
Available blocks
• P78-89 Hopkins2010– 3D form draw flat– Precise– Linear– Technical information– Assembly processes– Fabrics, trimmings & costing's– Visual information required for
manufacture
Feedback/plenary
SDS
• Develop your existing product pattern from the technical specification into a garment pattern.
• Select suitable materials to realise your product.

Surface Treatment: designing textiles
Starter Activity:
• draw an asymmetric unit within a rectangle
learning objectives
– In this session we will be developing our knowledge and understanding of how textiles fabrics are created.
– And developing our skills in specific textile design principles (repeat pattern creation and scale of size).
Learning outcomes
– to describe the different factors affecting textile design
– to identify sources of information to support the process
– create repeat patterns, use scale to develop ideas and 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);

How textiles fabrics are created
• Inspiration– Imagery– Pattern– Texture– Colour– silhouette
Break
• SDS: Create a mood board on a directional theme
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.
