What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Master patterns across a standard size range — draft with reduced oversight using charts, drafting instruments, and grading devices in a production patternmaking environment.
  • Pattern dimensions — compute independently, accounting for material stretch and size scaling, using mathematical formulas in a mid-volume apparel setting.
  • CAD patternmaking software — input garment specifications and generate digital pattern layouts routinely for assigned style ranges.
  • Pattern detail indicators — draw positions of pleats, pockets, buttonholes, and joining points accurately on pattern parts using drafting instruments or computers.
  • Existing patterns — adapt or modify for new styles by referencing design specifications and applying learned grading techniques in familiar production contexts.
  • Sample garments — construct and fit test pieces to verify pattern accuracy, making straightforward adjustments based on observed fit issues.
  • Pattern identification information — record garment size, section, style, and sewing instructions on finished patterns following department standards.
  • Post-fitting pattern corrections — execute adjustments to dimensions and seam allowances based on fit feedback in a structured production workflow.
  • Desktop publishing and graphics software — use to produce clear, annotated pattern documentation for sharing with production teams.
  • Time management techniques — apply to balance concurrent pattern assignments and meet scheduled deadlines across multiple garment styles.
