MatZB006 [GMTRB006] Sewing Technology and Design

Course abstract

The course is designed to master the basic principles of designing a sewn product: familiarize yourself with constructive modeling, the use of commercial cuts and application to individual products; with types of design, computer software; sewing technology, organization of the production process of the product (sequence), types of product assembly units, artistic decoration of sewn products - design. Practically, students make stitched products.
