TC 111Beginning Adobe Illustrator for Technical Design2
4 lab hours Students learn the fundamental basic sketching using Adobe Illustrator. Course assignments focus on creating garments using Adobe Illustrator software. Project is final portfolio of customer profile, mood board, fabric board, color board and 12 Adobe Illustrated coordinate group both fronts and backs. The basic of Illustrator is taught so students are capable of going into the Advanced Adobe Illustrator course learning technical sketching for technical packets.
TC 200Patternmaking and Construction for Faux Fur/Women's Wear2
4 lab hours Patternmaking and construction of women's garments using fake fur. Patterns of basic silhouettes and corollary pieces such as garment linings, facings, pockets, collars, and sleeves are created, and the requirements for garment construction using various types of fake furs will be covered. Students will produce a sample garment. Prerequisite(s): PM 121. 2026-27 Undergraduate Catalog 487
TC 201Production Pattern Development For Women's Denim2
4 lab hours Students are introduced to denim by analyzing body and dress forms, various denim washes, shrinkage ratios, shrinkage added garments for jeans and denim jackets, and production specification measurements. By using the most current data developed by the industry for denim, the course leads students through a better understanding of the important areas of the denim, washes and body types that present a challenge when developing styles. Prerequisite(s): PM 121 and PM 122.
TC 202Browzwear Computerized Pattern Corrections and 3D Avatar Fitting2
4 lab hours This course focuses on garment fit analysis and pattern corrections using the two major CAD programs used in the apparel industry. Students learn advanced computerized patternmaking using Gerber Accumark PDS (Pattern Design System) and 3D virtual garment fitting using Browzwear PDS. By analyzing garment fittings in the virtual environment, students experience unique aspects of the program and learn relations between fit issues and pattern corrections. Simulating 3D garment fitting from the simple top to structured jacket, soft woven to hard woven, and fitted to relaxed look, students will learn how these factors affect pattern corrections in order to retain the original look of the garment.
TC 232Patternmaking for Evening and Bridal Dresses2
4 lab hours An exploration into proportion and balance through development of garments prepared for the production process. Design integrity balanced with corrections for pattern fit is included. Prerequisite(s): PM 121 and PM 122.
4 lab hours This course focuses on the development of production-ready patterns for woven fabrics from technical specification sketches. Students analyze the effects of body measurements, pattern shapes, and production construction techniques on garment fit, quality, and performance.
4 lab hours Students further develop skills learned in TC 311 through an emphasis on fit concepts and patterns for woven, knit, and lined garments. Students learn to recognize and apply pattern corrections that maintain garment balance, proportion, and design integrity. Prerequisite(s): TC 311.
1 lecture and 2 lab hours Students learn to use a state-of-the-art apparel industry grading and marking software system to grade patterns, make markers, and manage files. Course stresses the importance held by fabric properties on the development of accurate graded specs for patterns and for marker making. Prerequisite(s): TC 311 and TC 321. 488 Courses and Departments
