Pattern Design: Fundamentals

Release Date: 2018-10-11
Pattern Design: Fundamentals is an ideal book for beginners to the field of fashion design as well as self-guided learners. Pattern Design: Fundamentals covers the basics of pattern making, terminology and drafting concepts. This book is different than all other drafting books of its kind. This drafting book combines knowledge of drafting with sewing and construction. The best way to understand how patterns are drafted is to understand how the drafts are constructed, why certain pattern markings are used and in what order a pattern should be constructed. Understanding the construction, solidifies one’s drafting knowledge, connecting the dots of two-dimensional drafting to the three-dimensional finished garment. Pattern Design was developed by designer and educator Jennifer Lynne Matthews-Fairbanks. Fairbanks years of instructing at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising coupled with her years running her own design and sewing studio, make for the ideal combination of teaching to the visual and self-guided learner. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce you to the tools, terms and pattern markings, including fabrics used, grainlines of patterns and the grain of a fabric. You will create a simple pattern with all appropriate markings from an unaltered sloper and learn each part of all slopers used throughout the book. In the first section, “Shape,” Pattern Design walks you through manipulating darts with the pivot and slash and spread methods, creating pleats, tucks and gathers. Each chapter details the basics of construction in order to complete each exercise fully and utilizes several different slopers to show how each concept can be translated to different garment types. Section two, “Line,” covers style lines (also called seam lines) and combines style lines with design elements from the “Shape” section. The third section, “Details,” includes beginner design detail concepts such as pockets, extensions, collars and banding. Pocket exercises include patch pockets, in-seam pockets and inset pockets. Extensions for buttons and placket for blouses are also demonstrated. The banding chapter covers simple waistbands and sleeve cuffs. The forth and final section covers “Finishes.” Finishes include facings, zipper insertion and basic hemming. Pattern Design: Fundamentals covers the material that most fashion design students learn in their first year of schooling. The book is an ideal guide for self-learners or for classroom instruction.

Enterprise Design Fundamentals
This textbook explains the fundamentals of Enterprise Design. It emphasizes two separations of concerns when (re)designing enterprises to keep the work intellectually manageable. The first one is between function and construction, thus between the enterprise business and the enterprise organisation. The second one is between the essential model of the organisation (the ontology of the enterprise) and the implementation model. With these two intellectual tools it is possible to conceive and put into effect any change in a manageable and responsible way. To this end, the book is divided into three parts: Introduction, Theories, and Applications. Part I contains the three introductory chapters. In chapter 1 the reader is introduced to the discipline of Enterprise Engineering, in which a design-oriented view is taken toward organisations. Chapter 2 discusses the often-confused distinction between Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture, and chapter 3 introduces Enterprise Design as one of the conceptual pillars of Enterprise Engineering. Next, Part II outlines the constituting theories of Enterprise Design. Chapter 4 first provides an overview of all Enterprise Engineering theories and their position in a clarifying framework. Then chapters 5 through 10 contain extended summaries of the theories that underly the notion of Enterprise Design. Every chapter is divided in three parts: foundations, elaborations, and discussions. Eventually, Part III is about the application of the theories. Chapter 11 contains an extensive description of the DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organisations) methodology, specifically of the DAO method, which guides the (re)design of enterprises. In chapters 12 to 14 exercises are presented and discussed for the use of DEMO to the (re)design of enterprises. These exercises in organisational redesign and digital transformation are particularly suited as course material. In chapter 15, practical applications of DEMO in various industrial areas are reported. In addition to a solid theoretical presentation of Enterprise Design, this book also contains many exercises and examples of its practical application. This combination makes the book perfectly suited for courses on Enterprise Design and Enterprise Engineering, including DEMO as the principal methodology in Enterprise Engineering.
