Cotton University!!!

HEYYYYYYY Bloggers!!!!

This cotton university assignment was very interesting and I received allot of information.  Because I am Fashion Merchandising minor I was really interested in the Garment Manufacturing.

The Garment Manufacturing course taught you the history and information of the creating of garments.  This video teaches how manufactures create patterns and how body measurements are taken to fit body forms. Before you get stated on making the actual garment, you must get the proper measurements and also perform what is known as Marker Making

  

Basically the marker making is a special kind of stencil that illustrates how pattern pieces of one or more garments should be cut from several layers of fabric.  This is very important while getting ready to construct the garment.  We also learn the cutting methods.  Before the workers began to cut the garment, they must first make sure that the fabric is properly arranged.

It’s a lot of steps before actually making a garment!!!

This video taught me a lot about manufacturing and the process of creating garments.  There is a lot of work that is put in before a master piece is created.  I did not know that there was such a long process.  After viewing the video I had a lot of questions.  This video helped me to understand some of the processes of garment making. 

I can definitely use this in my career.  I am currently an Advertising major and I minored in fashion merchandising because I wanted to advertise clothes and well known business.  The information allowed me to see how manufactures create the clothing that goes in many of the clothing stores and how they are constructed.  I also had dreams of becoming a fashion designer.  This video will also be beneficial because it teaches how to create the clothing.
