“…This method basically uses a technique called the Tunnel technique (Almond, 2018) where a whole cloth is creased-fold into halves and stitched together so that a tunnel is formed. Openings or holes are precisely cut out to allow body parts to enter through.…”

Pattern making is one of the most important skill-based courses in fashion educationn curriculum, where students learn clothing construction through drafting, draping and creating basic pattern for garment production. The impact of textile waste and fast fashion to the environment has been widely discussed in the fashion realm, locally and globally. To address the issue, fashion education becomes the potential platform to integrate pattern making skill and sustainable innovation which can be delivered through teaching and learning activities. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a framework of sustainable innovation in teaching and learning of pattern making skill for fashion educational programs. In the qualitative approach, the data were collected from document analyses, interviews and observations. 21 participants including fashion educators, designers and pattern makers are involved in interview sessions. The elements of sustainable innovation emerged from the thematic analysis are upcycling, zerowaste, minimization and technology advancement. The study suggests that: 1) The learning objective must be concise and include Design for disassembly, Up cycling and Transformational Cutting. 2) Learning activities to involve more peer and industry collaboration. 3) Teaching strategies to infuse more problem-based learning and be technologically inclined and 4) Assessment on sustainable innovation knowledge must be evaluated. The developed framework can be utilised as a guideline for higher education institutions to implement sustainable innovation specifically in the teaching and learning for pattern making skills.

Cover-ups are a type of garment worn to the beach or an informal social event. They are attractive, convenient, easy to wear, and functional. It should be wrinkle-resistant, lightweight, and keep the wearer cool and comfortable besides its aesthetical properties. This work focuses on achieving sustainability in designing and producing printed beachwear cover-ups, from the one-piece flat pattern to the final product. The designs balanced aesthetics, patternmaking, and fabric waste for sustainable, innovative garment pieces. The geometric one-piece flat pattern is a way to reduce fabric waste during cutting by utilizing as much fabric area as possible. The work combines crochet, a traditional handicraft, with contemporary digital crafts to produce printable digital designs with sustainable values. Adobe Photoshop capabilities have been employed to create printing patterns utilizing the photos of the previously implemented handmade crochet motifs. The printing designs were applied to a single jersey knitted fabric (80% Polyester -20% Spandex) by sublimation printing. The specialists in the clothing and textile domain evaluated the proposed nine beachwear cover-ups produced in this work. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate motif quality, design foundations, flat pattern making, the amount of fabric waste, and the final product. The responses to the questionnaire were statistically significant on the success of the proposed designs in minimizing cut-and-sew wastes and creating innovative printed beachwear cover-up products that attain sustainability.

“…Sustainable innovations can be implemented in any field, such as education, where such improvements go beyond technological changes, such as changes in business thinking, business models and systems, operational practises and processes (10). Web 2.0 (11), seamless learning (12), education programme (13), upcycling design process in fashion education (14), zero-waste design (15) and (16), pedagogy (17), and 3D printing (18) are examples of sustainable innovation in education. In terms of pedagogy, sustainable education is also important in fashion education.…”

Pattern making is one of the most important skill-based courses in fashion education, where students learn clothing construction through drafting, draping, and creating basic patterns for garment productions. Issues in fashion sustainability, such as textile waste and fast fashion, lead to this research. However, practices of sustainable innovation in local higher education institutions are still low compared to other countries. The objective of this research paper is to explore the current sustainable practices in teaching and learning pattern-making skills. A qualitative approach has been adopted to explore the current practices of teaching and learning in some local fashion institutions, and 21 fashion educators participated in semi-structured interview sessions. The results from the thematic analyses show six elements of sustainable innovation which currently being practised: minimization technique, pattern manipulation, upcycling, draping, digital learning, and innovative tools are part of the sustainable innovation practices. Keywords: Higher Education Research, Education for Sustainable Development, Innovation
