HEALTH AND SAFETY
SAFE WORKING POLICIES FOR WORKSHOPS AND STUDIOS In order to ensure a pleasant and safe working environment for everyone please follow some basic guidelines-Locate an exit route out of the building in case of an emergency If you hear the emergency alarm you must follow staff instructions and leave the building immediately Eating and drinking (with the exception of water) are not allowed in the workshops. It is very important to keep the work and floor space around you clear of all rubbish including paper and thread. This is for your own safety as these are slipping hazards If you are unwell or require First Aid tell a member of staff immediately If possible, should you find somebody who is unwell or requires First Aid, find a person who can stay with them while you tell a member of staff Always keep aisle clear of any obstructions including personal property
When using any adhesives or solvents you must use the fume extractor which is situated in the main Open Access area Do not glue on the cutting boards, machines or tables, this will damage your work, other students work and the workshop equipment Hole punching must be done on the appropriate table and not on the cutting boards. There are only a certain number of cutting boards and if they are damaged in this way they will have to be removed for resurfacing Report any faulty equipment to a member of staff so that it can be fixed quickly College tools are expensive and difficult to replace so if in doubt about how to use them please ask a member of staff There are a limited number of specialist bobbins and bobbin cases so if you have borrowed one it must be returned at the end of the day Please respect the environment and do not waste pattern paper or materials. There are recycling bins for pattern paper in each room and a scrap bin for materials in the Open Access area All broken needles and blades need to be placed in the sharps bin located in the open Access area, do not throw them into any other bins You must throw any rubbish away in the bins, never leave rubbish on the floor as this can cause accidents At the end of your day please leave your workspace tidy and return any tools you have borrowed
HEALTH AND SAFETY
SAFE WORKING PRACTISE FOR MACHINERY Make sure you have been inducted on the machinery before you use it Please read the relevant Safe Working Practise notices displayed and follow any operating advice on the machinery The London College of Fashion requires that a minimum of 3 students need to be present in a room if machinery is in use All mobile phones and personal stereos should be switched off when operating machinery A GREEN sticker on the machine means that you can use it if you have been inducted and there are at least 2 other students present in the workshop A YELLOW sticker on the machine means that you can use it if you have been inducted and you have made staff aware that you are using it
A RED sticker on the machine means that a member of staff will operate the machine for you Make safe any loose clothing and hair Do not switch the machinery on until you are safely seated Make sure the power is off and your feet are clear of the treadle when you are threading a machine, changing a needle or adjusting any settings Keep your fingers away from any moving parts When operating machinery concentrate on your own work Always switch off machinery when not in use
RED : STOP! Only trained staff members can use this equipment. Students are not permitted to use the equipment. AMBER : Supervision required Students can use the equipment but must get approval before each use. The staff member will supervise, and students may not use the equipment if no staff are within proximity. GREEN : Proceed with caution Students can use the equipment once they have had an induction, and are competent in its use. The ‘three student rule’ applies and lone working is not permitted.

PIPING & FRENCH BINDING
TOOLS / Essentia tools and its uasage
CLICKING KNIFE POINTED BONEFOLDER This is used for folding paper, pleating a folding allowance, folding down a glued seam and pushing out turned seams. It is also useful for marking stitch lines on leather as it won’t damage the surface.
A handle with two types of blade. A straight blade is used for cutting patterns and soft, fine leather and materials. A curved blade is used for cutting thicker leather and materials. Always keep both blades sharpened.
SCISSORS A sharp pair of scissors are useful for cutting & trimming pattern paper, material & leather. Small scissors or snippers are useful for cutting thread ends
BOBBIN Pfaff bobbin case for cylinder arm machine.
DIVIDERS FOLDING HAMMER A folding hammer is a hand held tool used to hammer down folds or open out seams. One end is rounded and smooth for hammering, the other has a flatter edge more suitable for folding.
These are essential for adding seam allowances to patterns and spacing accurate measurements
STEEL RULER AWL
Steel rulers are used to ensure a perfect straight edge when cutting patterns and leather and cannot be damaged by blades unlike plastic or wooden rulers
Used to mark position points and registration marks on patterns, leather or other materials. Can also be used for pleating a folding allowance
ROTATING PUNCH Rotating punches are useful but mini & maxi punches are not limited in their reach if you need to punch patterns etc.
MASKING TAPE & DOUBLE SIDED TAPE Masking tape are useful for sticking paper mock ups together. Double sided tape can be a useful alternative to adhesive
SCALPEL used for cutting patterns, leathers and materials. Always change blade when the used blade is not sharp anymore.

Put the oringinal pattern on the the new with both folded. Matching the top and the middle line.Draw the outline of the original pattern on the paper.
Cut it out and get a duplicate one.
Step 1-2/ Adding curves | Making pattern with round edges.
Cut a new pattern, scroll a middle line and square off the top. Cut out a size of rectangle.
Trace the curve of any cylinder stuff at the edge of the pattern.
Cut the pattern out with pattern folded.
Get pattern with curvy edges.
Step 1-3/ Adding s/a | Adding seam or folding allowances for cutting pattern.
Cut a new paper, fold it in half with middle line, square of the top. Mark 1 cm(s/a) from the top and draw a horizontal line.
Put the original pattern on the new one, with both folded, matching the middle line and the 1cm line from the top.
Trace the oringinal pattern all around by divider with 1cm(s/a).
Cut the new pattern out with the outline drawn with divider and get pattern with seam allwance=1cm.
Step 1-4/ Stepping off | Making pattern with round edges.
L Cut a piece of curve edges and a random piece.
Draw a line on the piece and mark a start point. Match one corner to the start point.
Press awl into the curved pattern at the final point of intersection, matching the drawn line.
Keep the awl anchored down and pivot the curved pattern until once agian the edge of the curve pattern meets the drawn line.
