INTRODUCTION:
objectives
FOUNDATION:
From learning to take measurements, the drawing of the basic templates, the
transformation for the chosen model, the garment cut, the fitting and the
armed... Everything in detail, step by step…
CONTENTS:
. Taking measurements.
. Hand stitches.
STRATEGIES:
They are of a practical nature aimed at directing and effectively guiding the
students in their learning.
The methodological conception that is applied in various situations is:
research, systematization, evaluation and planning, allowing the
active participation, dialogue, and collective reflection among the participants and
the teacher.
METHODS:
The development of the class is based on the use of active, practical methods.
participatory, developed individually and collectively.
An integrated training system is applied, special for the function of
dressmakers, where the most important task that the student must develop
it is based on achieving training through techniques and working methods.
RESOURCES:
EVALUATION:
It is constant and continuous, taking into account:
BIBLIOGRAPHY:
. Notes given by the teacher.
. Internet material.
. Fashion magazines
The curriculum includes components such as taking body measurements, developing skirt patterns, cutting and sewing fabric, and using hand and machine stitches. Workshops on obtaining and tracing molds, making pleated and straight skirts, and understanding sewing tools further support the development of practical sewing skills .
The course ensures continuous evaluation through constant observation of personal autonomy, security, and the ability to recreate studied content. A checklist records the application of specific procedures and techniques, ensuring adherence to hygiene and safety standards. Self-assessment is also a part of this process, giving students the opportunity to reflect on their progress .
Using both hand sewing and machine sewing is emphasized to provide a comprehensive skill set. Hand sewing teaches precision and control, useful for delicate tasks like attaching buttons. Machine sewing offers efficiency and is vital for larger projects, thus equipping students with versatile capabilities suitable for various sewing needs .
The "learning by doing and producing" method enhances the learning experience by allowing students to engage in practical tasks that reinforce theoretical knowledge. This hands-on approach helps students advance at their own pace, develop autonomy, and apply learned skills in real-world contexts, which is crucial for vocational technical training .
The course utilizes resources such as notes provided by teachers, magazines, pattern paper, thread, needles, sewing machines, and fabrics. These resources contribute to student success by providing necessary materials for hands-on practice, enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge in tangible projects .
The course integrates teamwork through collaborative tasks involving marking, measuring, cutting, and sewing, which require students to interact and work collectively. This approach fosters communication skills, shared learning experiences, and prepares students for real-world projects that demand teamwork .
The dressmaking course aims to develop skills related to sewing, such as taking body measurements, developing base skirt patterns, and sewing by hand and machine. It also seeks to cultivate a sense of responsibility, organization, study habits, and information-seeking skills. These objectives are integrated into the curriculum through practical tasks, active learning strategies, and continuous evaluation that focus on individual pacing and skill application .
Understanding different fabrics is critical as it influences the suitability, cut, and final appearance of the garment. The course incorporates fabric selection knowledge through specific objectives that include identifying, differentiating, and selecting appropriate fabrics for projects, supporting informed decision-making in design and construction .
The course accommodates individual learning paces by emphasizing practical learning, where students advance through tasks such as making skirts, taking measurements, and using sewing machines at their own speed. This approach respects each student's unique learning needs, fostering deeper understanding and mastery of skills, thus benefiting those with varied learning speeds and styles .
Strategies include workshops that focus on simple techniques for obtaining patterns, such as copying, tracing, and transforming molds. These activities are designed to build foundational skills in pattern-making, which are essential for accurate and personalized garment production .
