Clothing and Textiles I (one trimester) is an introductory course in which students learn about the clothing and textiles industry and practice basic construction techniques. Each student is expected to supply fabric and notions in order to complete a required number of projects that demonstrate a variety of design techniques. Students receive instruction on both conventional sewing machines and sergers and production.

Clothing and Textiles II (one trimester) is a course for the student who has mastered basic techniques and wishes to work beyond the beginner level. Projects include a wide range of applications that can be worn or marketed for consumer use. Experience gained in this course can help students to find practical and inexpensive ways to expand their wardrobes. Students will gain entry-level exposure to the clothing, textile and design industry.

Clothing and Textiles III (one trimester) is offered to students who have a strong interest and advanced skills in the area of clothing and textiles. Once enrolled in the course, each student will plan a project that challenges his/her skill level. A skill assessment consultation will be held with the teacher before projects are planned. Clothing III may also include fashion and costume design and portfolio.
