Pattern construction is the process of creating templates or guides used to cut fabric pieces for garment making. These templates—called patterns—show the exact shape, size, and design details of each part of a garment (such as sleeves, bodice, or collar).
In simple terms, pattern construction involves drafting patterns on paper or fabric according to body measurements and design specifications, ensuring the final garment fits well and matches the intended style.

Clothing Construction Technology Unit focuses on the study and application of techniques involved in the design, assembly, and manufacturing of garments. This unit covers various processes such as pattern making, cutting, sewing, stitching, and finishing, emphasizing the integration of modern technology and machinery to enhance garment quality and production efficiency. Students learn about fabric behavior, garment fitting, and the use of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools to streamline clothing construction, preparing them for roles in fashion design, apparel manufacturing, and quality control.
