RBSE Sec Voc Apparel Made-Ups and Home Furnishing study plan

Classify at least 20 fibre samples into natural (cellulosic, protein) and man-made (regenerated, synthetic) groups and justify each placement in one sentence

Draw and label the morphological parts of cotton, wool and silk fibres and state one property consequence of each structure

Compare staple versus filament, and crystalline versus amorphous regions, in a written table linking each to absorbency, strength and lustre

Define the standard yarn and fabric parameters (count, twist, crimp, GSM, cover factor, EPI/PPI) and compute three worked numerical examples

Explain the sequence of staple yarn production from blow room to ring spinning and identify where fibre arrangement changes

Distinguish plain, twill, satin, dobby and jacquard woven structures, plus single jersey, rib and interlock knits, by identifying their interlacing diagrams

Relate each weave/knit structure to drape, stretch and dimensional stability, and select a suitable structure for three named end uses

Take a full set of body measurements on a volunteer and record them on a standard measurement chart with landmarks marked

Draft a basic bodice block (front and back) to stated measurements, including seam allowance conventions

Identify the pattern-making tools and explain the function of each in a short annotated list

Draft a basic sleeve, skirt and trouser block from the bodice/skirt foundations and check balance points against the body measurements

Perform dart manipulation on the bodice block to relocate a shoulder dart to waist, armhole and neckline positions

Create three pattern adaptations: a yoke, a gathered seam and a pleat, with grain lines and notches marked

Grade one bodice block from a base size to two adjacent sizes using a stated grade rule and verify the increments

Write a cut-order and marker-layout note for a small style, listing pattern pieces, grain and nap direction

Demonstrate and label the main hand stitches (running, back, blanket, hemming, slip) and explain one appropriate use for each

Set up and thread an industrial or domestic machine, adjust tension and stitch length, and diagnose three common stitch faults from sample seams

Sew and inspect five seam types (plain, French, flat-felled, lapped, overlocked) and record strength, bulk and end-use suitability

Insert a centred and a concealed zip, and attach a waistband and a collar, on practice samples

Explain the sequence of operations for assembling a simple shirt or kurti from cutting to finishing

Construct a complete garment from a drafted pattern, following a written operation bulletin and meeting the seam and finish standards set in week 4

Apply three surface ornamentation techniques (block printing, embroidery stitch family, and appliqué or tie-dye) to fabric swatches and evaluate fastness and durability

Explain the elements and principles of design and use them to justify one garment design decision in writing

Prepare a colour story or mood board of at least six swatches with rationale for a chosen end use

Describe traditional Indian embellishment techniques and their regional associations in a short comparative note

Classify home furnishing products (bed linen, curtains, upholstery, table linen, towels) by fabric, construction and performance requirement

Compute fabric consumption for a bed sheet set and a pair of curtains from given dimensions, allowing for hem, shrinkage and repeat

Draft and construct one made-up article (cushion cover with zip or a table runner with mitred corners) to a specified finish

Explain the role of GSM, shrinkage, colour fastness and flame resistance in selecting furnishing fabrics for three settings

Identify the standard sizes and labelling information expected on household textile products

Map the apparel supply chain from fibre to retail and identify the value-adding and quality-check stages at each step

Outline the requirements to start a small apparel or tailoring unit, including registration, machinery list, manpower and costing of one product

Prepare a short CV and a career-path note covering three roles in the sector (merchandiser, pattern maker, quality inspector) with the skills each needs

Write a care label and laundering recommendation for five different fibre/fabric combinations, justifying each instruction

List occupational hazards in a sewing unit and the control measures for each, including machine guarding, needle safety, ergonomics and fire safety

Describe the common fabric defects and the inspection points where each is caught

Assemble the portfolio: fibre sheet, pattern set, sample book, finished garment and furnishing article, each with a reflection note

Self-administer a timed 60-question mock covering all domains and score it, logging every wrong answer with the corrected fact

Re-solve the five numerical problem types (count, GSM, cover factor, consumption, grading increment) without notes

Present the finished garment and furnishing article orally in three minutes each, defending design and construction choices

Write a one-page revision sheet of the ten facts you most often got wrong across the plan
