WBCHSE HS Vocational Apparel study plan

List the physical and chemical properties of cotton, silk, wool, polyester and viscose, and match each fibre to two suitable end uses

Classify woven, knitted and non-woven fabrics and sketch one example of each weave structure (plain, twill, satin)

Identify and label the parts of a sewing machine, and demonstrate correct threading and bobbin winding

Practise straight, curved and back stitches on scrap fabric until the seam allowance stays within 2 mm of the guideline

Construct and finish five seam types (plain, French, flat-felled, lapped, overlocked) and record the strength and bulk of each

Sew three seam finishes and two hem finishes, then compare their suitability for light and heavy fabrics

Take a set of body measurements (bust, waist, hip, shoulder, sleeve length, back length) on a partner and record them on a standard measurement chart

Draft a basic bodice block to the recorded measurements with correct seam allowances

Draft and true a basic sleeve block and a skirt block from body measurements

Add dart manipulation to the bodice block and explain the pivot and slash methods

Cut and stitch a calico bodice toile and fit it on a partner, marking at least three corrections

Apply pattern markings (grain line, notches, fold line, dart lines) correctly on the toile

Attach a collar, a set-in sleeve and a placket, and note the order of operations for each

Insert a concealed zip and a button-and-buttonhole closure and check alignment

Explain the sequence of garment assembly for a simple shirt or kurta from cutting to finishing

Define the seven basic quality-control checks (measurement, stitching, seam strength, colourfastness, shrinkage, symmetry, finishing) and describe how each is tested on a sample

Describe the stages of industrial apparel production from design approval to dispatch, and identify the role of the sample room, cutting room and finishing section

Compare four production systems (make-through, progressive bundle, unit production, modular) on WIP, lead time and skill requirement

Demonstrate block printing, tie-and-dye and batik on fabric swatches and record the process steps for each

Explain embroidery stitches (chain, satin, stem, running) and apply at least two to a sample

Draw a 10-head fashion figure with correct body proportions and mark the balance line and key landmarks

Render one fabric drape each for cotton, silk and denim using appropriate shading and texture cues

Build a colour story of five coordinated swatches and explain the colour wheel relationships used

Explain the fashion cycle and classify five current garment categories by season and market segment

Calculate the cost sheet for one garment: fabric consumption, trims, labour, overhead and profit margin, and fix a selling price

Compute fabric consumption for a given garment size using a marker or formula and show the working

Identify five occupational hazards in a sewing unit and state the PPE or control measure for each

List the licences, registrations and basic record-keeping needed to start a small apparel unit, and outline a simple merchandising calendar from sampling to delivery

Compile the portfolio with all earlier deliverables in the required order and label each item against its assessment criterion

Revise weak domains using timed practice questions and correct every wrong answer with a written reason

Prepare and rehearse a five-minute project viva covering fabric choice, pattern, construction and costing of the chosen garment

Finalise the project garment and its report with photographs, specification sheet and cost sheet
