The word croquis literally translates to "sketch." However, in the fashion world a croquis is a body template from which you sketch. Once you’ve worn your garment a few times, it’s also worth thinking about if you’ve realized there are additional changes you need to make in the future—capture it in your sketchbook and you’re much more likely to remember. I often find that I don’t realize which alterations I need until my garment has been through the wash a few times and worn in different environments. By keeping a diary of your sewing, your sketchbook can become a living record, helping you perfect your tried-and-true patterns, and allowing you to avoid repeating the same mistakes. As long as you attend a minimum of 80% of your classes, we will provide you with a certificate of attendance. Creativity, Originality and Inspiration; Your cultural universe; Exercise 1: Building a Fabric Archive; Putting It All Together; Exercise 2: Your Own Remix; Sketching in the Moment; Exercise 3: Research Sketching; Transition to Design; Exercise 4: Visual Storytelling/ Mind Mapping; Interview: Scott Nylund; Interview: Renaldo Barnette The course will be adapted to the needs of each student, but they should also take some responsibility for their own learning. For example, if you are really enjoying working on collages from week one, you could continue doing so. Tutors will let the students explore and will fully support them in developing their own pathway of interests.Theoretically, a fashion sketchbook could be any pad of paper or book where you draw ideas for garments! However, the key to most specially-designed sketchbooks is that they contain croquis. This book identifies four distinct types of creative journal, each representing a different phase in the design process: the inspiration diary, the working journal, the presentation journal and the design log; and it explores how one develops out of the other, each stage in the idea generation process moving the process forward organically from discovery, to direction, to design development and delivery. One of the biggest advantages of fashion sketchbooks is that you really don’t need to be good at drawing! Just use the croquis as an outline and mark on your seamlines and details, and you’ll end up with a great representation of your design.
The students should leave the course feeling confident about working independently to design and develop fashion ideas. They will leave being comfortable in a studio environment and feel ready to pursue further education in fashion design. You should finish the course having a sketchbook filled with design ideas for potential fashion collections and a new confidence to develop new designs. As a sewist, it is rare to nail a project the first time. Often after completing a garment, you may find that next time around you would make a few changes. If you are like me and have the memory of a goldfish, then capturing what changes you made to a sewing pattern, or would like to make in the future, is invaluable.This article is part of a series showcasing and celebrating outstanding sketchbooks by students, artists and designers.You may also be interested in viewing our other sketchbook resources: Our tutors will explain things in easy to understand, accessible English.
