This is a great beginning activity to give to your advanced fashion design students. They have to create several different seams and seam finfishes on cotton, knit, and satin fabrics. It is great to give students a point of reference when they go to purchase fabrics for their garments they will be making throughout the class. Students are able to see how each type of fabric reacts to the same seams.
Seams and seam finishes included are:
- Plain Seam
- Double Stitched Seam
- Welt Seam
- Top Stitched Seam
- Flat Fell Seam
- French Seam
Seam Finishes
- Zig-Zag Seam Finish
- Rolled Hem
- Serged Edge
This product includes:
- Instructions on how to create swatches for the seam portfolio
- Supply list to send home with students of what fabrics they need to purchase for their seam portfolio
- A rubric for each of the seams for each type of fabric
- A page with video links for each of the seams so that you can upload how you see fit so students can have access. I find it easy yo upload it to google classroom and then students are able to watch the videos on their phone as the work through each seam type.
