This curriculum guide for those who desire to make a full- or part-time career of custom sewing is designed with the domestic sewing machine in mind for the independent worker or small business. Intended for grades 11-12 consumer and homemaking students with two years of previous vocational home economics or students enrolled in occupational clothing production and management classes, the materials are developed for use in a twelve-to-eighteen-week, in-depth course or in an occupational clothing production and management class. The guide contains six instructional units: Fabrics and Textiles, Body Measurement and Altering Flat Patterns, Construction Techniques, Home Products, Alteration of Ready-Made Clothing, and Business Principles in Custom Sewing. The format includes some or all of eight basic components: performance objectives, suggested activities for teacher, information sheets, assignment sheets, job sheets, transparency masters, tests, and answers to tests and assignment sheets.
