o Identify and include ease requirements
Using a word processor, compile a step-by step list of instructions to follow
during the assembly of garment.
o Include all required fabrics and notions

Construct garment using muslin or broadcloth. When complete, test for fit
and alter pattern as needed.

FAS2130 CONSTRUCTION FUNDAMENTALS 2

Students apply intermediate construction techniques and knowledge of fabrics and
patterns to complete a garment for the lower torso.
Prerequisite: FAS1130 Construction Fundamentals 1
This course will focus on sewing a garment, as well as documenting progress.
Using pattern created in previous course, create a garment.
Add any missing details to instructions created for pattern including:
o Appropriate fabric suitable for garment function
o Appropriate fasteners, elastic, and interfacing

courses, specifically ones involving web design. It will be completed over the course
of the semester, and should be in constant development.
Format: Website (Weebly), or other approved medium such as online flip book,
Prezi, etc.
The portfolio must include various elements from the four courses including:
FAS2030
Drawing of a garment for the lower torso using Photoshop, Inkscape or [CAD
program]
Drawing of the same garment on a croquis using Photoshop, Inkscape or
[CAD program]
At least 2 composite image (using Canva or Piktochart) showing outfit
ensembles centered around your garment.
Uploaded PDF of pattern design using CAD program.
