The design module is a third of the course, studying colour, shape, line texture and form through art media.

This course enables you to design your own patterns through a set pattern-cutting module. This will form the basis for the rest of the garments that will include: A blouse/shirt, a skirt, trousers or shorts, a dress and a lined jacket.
