Name

Date

**Make it look cute with fashion related pictures. Does not have to have a black border.

2. Title Page: Place inside notebook. Should be the first page you see when you open it. Same as cover page above with ¼” black border– plus add a picture of yourself.

3. Divider Pages: Divider pages should always be on the right side of portfolio starting a series of assignments. Center the title on the page and add cute pictures, clip art, etc to dress up each divider page. Mount all divider pages on black with ¼” border.

Divider Page #1: Fashion Terms and Designs

Divider Page #2: Textiles

4. Rules:

A. THE PORTFOLIO PAGES MUST BE IN ORDER (as stated above)

B. Assignments that are alike can open towards each other, example color wheel and color values should be open together at the same time. The portfolio pages should be placed so that there aren’t any blank spots and the viewer is able to move through it like a book. You can do all fronts if you like.

C. Check for spelling and grammatical errors before turning in – Grammatical errors will affect your grade!

D. Use page protectors for each page of your portfolio. It appears neat; protects your work; and is professional!

5. Time: There will be time in class throughout the semester to work on the portfolio sections!

6. THIS IS YOUR FINAL – DON’T PUT OFF ‘TIL TOMORROW, WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY!

← Basting stitch

← Hem stitch

← Slip stitch

← Embroidery Stitches including: Running stitch, Back Stitch, Outline Stitch, Chain Stitch, Lazy Daisy Stitch, French knots, Satin Stitch

← Button

Machine Seams and finishes:

← Machine basting stitch – loose ends,( 5/8” or 15mm)

← Straight (plain) seam (5/8 “ or 15 mm) with backstitching and a Pinked Seam finish

← Machine gathering stitch – loose ends, two rows – ¼” (10mm) and 5/8” (15mm)

1. All of these should be done on fabric squares that YOU have cut out with pinking shears and attached to black card stock using glue sticks.

2. All fabric squares should be of a consistent color; example: all light blue squares.

3. For a neater appearance, be sure to use the pinking shears to trim around each square.

4. Glue the top portion (Should be able to lift sample) and label what each represents.

5. Each label should be printed/typed.

6. Use separate squares for EACH sample.

7. Instructions followed/neat/organized.

Sample Page:

An EXCELLENT Fashion Portfolio Page

Step 1:

Choose you pictures or create your sketches.

Step 2.

Write a paragraph using correct grammar and artful words!

Look at your picture/sketch and take notes on what is most important according to the new principle you have been taught in class. Here are two different examples of notes that can be taken and paragraphs that can be written on the same sample picture.

[pic]

Notes:

1. placement

Vertical line – jacket – front opening split skirt, tights, texture of fabric, collar, and circles on shirt

2. message

Casual – should be formal, but fabric, tights, open jacket, make it informal

3. illusion

Tall – long vertical line in jacket

Paragraph from notes:

Vertical lines are found in the jacket opening, split skirt, tights and texture of fabric. Horizontal lines are also visible in the fabric and bottom of the skirt but less noticeable. Normally vertical lines would make the design formal; however the fabric, tights and open jacket make it look casual. Overall the model appears tall and thin due to the long vertical line in the jacket.

Notes:

1. placement

Vertical line (most dominant because of underlined items) – skirt – pleats and slits, jacket opening, tights, fabric

Horizontal – waist, sleeve, collar, fabric, tights, hem of skirt

2. message

Semi professional due to straight line, casual from straight line, sophisticated because it is a suit

3. illusion

Jacket opening creates tall thin look

Paragraph from notes:

Vertical lines are dominant in the skirt pleats and slits, jacket opening and the fabric texture. Horizontal lines are noticeable also in the waistline, cuff, collar, fabric, hem of the skirt and tights. Circles on the design draw attention to the areas they are placed on. The design appears to be semi-professional due to the straight lines and somewhat casual because of horizontal lines. The strong vertical line on the jacket opening makes the model appear tall and thin.

Do’s and Don’ts:

• Don’t use “I”, “You”, “She,” or “I think” in your portfolio statements. IT WEAKENS YOUR STATEMENTS. When referring to the person in the picture, say, “The model.”

• When talking about the clothing BE SPECIFIC. The viewer doesn’t know what you’re talking about unless you directly tell them.

• Paragraphs need to be written in present tense.

Step 3: Prepare the portfolio page.

Cutting the paper

Black paper = 8 ½” X 11”

White paper = 8 X 10 ½”

Paste the white paper to the black using MINIMAL glue from a glue stick. Make sure that the white has a ¼” border around it equally. Move it while the glue is still wet.

Pictures, Titles and Paragraphs have ¼” black border

Cut your picture down to have straight sides. Glue it onto the black paper. Cut around the edge leaving ¼” around each side. FOLLOW THE GUIDES ON THE CUTTER. Make sure it is always against the edge of the cutter. Paste the bordered picture on your Portfolio page making sure everything is straight. Leave room for a title and paragraph. Now you can estimate how you want to type them.

Step 4:

Type the paragraphs and the titles for the pages.

Paragraphs should be typed in a font, approximately10-14 pt. size, depending on the size of picture you have. Titles should be approximately 36 pt. size, depending on the size of the picture and also on the type of font that you use. You can use your choice of font on the title as long as it is readable. Border the paragraph and the title with ¼” of black paper just like the picture. Paste them on the paper nicely.

You’re done!!! It should look great and sound great.
