WBBSE Madhyamik Vocational Apparel study plan

Sketch and label the standard body measurement points used in Indian sizing charts, then take and record 12 measurements on one family member

Draft a basic bodice block (front and back) to individual measurements on brown paper, including seam allowance notes

Classify 10 fabric swatches by fibre type using a simple burn test and record the observed flame, odour and residue for each

Define warp, weft, selvedge, grain line and bias in own words with a small labelled diagram

Draft a basic sleeve block and a simple A-line skirt block from the bodice measurements

Transfer the bodice draft to a muslin toile, stitch it and mark three fit corrections on the toile with pins and notes

Demonstrate laying out a pattern on fabric respecting grain line, fold line and fabric direction

Cut one bodice toile and one skirt toile with correct notching and seam allowance

Identify and label the parts of a single-needle lockstitch machine, including tension discs, bobbin case, feed dog and take-up lever

Thread the machine and wind a bobbin unaided within three minutes

Stitch five practice seam samples: plain, French, flat-felled, run-and-fell and overlocked edge

Diagnose and correct three common stitch faults: skipped stitches, loose tension and needle breakage

Sew a straight line, square and curve on unlined paper without deviation beyond 2 mm

Construct a complete simple kurti or child's frock from cutting to final pressing, following a written construction sequence

Attach a neckline facing, set in a sleeve and finish a hem using three different techniques

Work five basic embroidery stitches on a sampler: running, stem, chain, satin and blanket

Transfer an embroidery motif to fabric using carbon paper or tracing paper and complete one small motif

Compare natural and man-made fibres on strength, absorbency, shrinkage and care, and tabulate findings for six fibres

Explain yarn count, twist direction and two common yarn defects in a written note

Demonstrate two surface ornamentation techniques other than embroidery, such as applique and fabric painting or mirror work

List the tools and materials needed for each ornamentation technique with approximate costs

Perform a four-point fabric inspection on a two-metre length and record defects in a standard inspection format

Apply a 10-point final garment check covering measurements, symmetry, stitching, pressing and trims

Identify five workplace hazards in a sewing room and state the correct control for each

Demonstrate safe handling of shears, needles, irons and electrical connections, and describe waste segregation for fabric scraps

Calculate the cost sheet for the garment made in week 4, covering fabric, trims, labour, overhead and profit margin

Fix a selling price using both cost-plus and simple market comparison, and state the margin in each case

Map three career routes in the apparel sector, such as sampling tailor, quality checker and boutique owner, with the skills each needs

Draft a one-page profile of a small tailoring enterprise covering services, target customer and pricing

Assemble the portfolio with pattern drafts, seam samples, embroidery sampler, inspection report and cost sheet in a fixed order

Revise all ten domains using a self-made one-page summary sheet per domain

Attempt two timed mock papers of 50 marks each and score them honestly

Re-practise the three weakest topics flagged by the mock scores until each is completed correctly twice
