You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board’’. (Arduino,2021) Wearable Electronics? Over the years electronics have become more of a fashion piece rather than practical technology, such as smart watches. But what if we combine fashion and electronics? After the session on Arduino and creating a small electric circuit to make a LED light flash and create a simple code using the Arduino software, made me think how that could be developed and combined with fashion. A lot of fashion designer use electronics for aesthetic, lighting, but what if...

  Creative Studio  Session One – Creative Pattern Cutting Drafting a Bodies form measurements – 2D Pattern drafting is creating paper pattern pieces of a garment form body measurements. First, the pattern designer will create simple bodies to make it fit the persons measurements and develop further to the final design.     What is a pattern? A pattern is a template to sew a garment is a specific shape and size, usually the pattern pieces are made from paper. Sewing patterns are made of several pieces that later are cut out of fabric and sewn together to form a garment. Sewing patterns always come with markings and notches to let people know which part goes where. A number of pattern pieces depends on the design of the garment. On the pieces there will be a note indicating by the name of the piece, how many pieces need to be cut, whether they should be cut on fold or two separate pieces. Most of the instructions how to sew the garment can be found on ...
