Woven Fabric Construction
You see how a woven cloth is built, and you read a mill's one-line fabric specification field by field. You learn what the construction predicts about consumption, cost, and what the garment will do.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a woven or knitted fabric specification and predict what it will do: drape, stretch, shrinkage, seam performance, and cost per garment. You can calculate consumption from GSM and width, and judge a fabric in your hand against the spec somebody wrote for it.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You read one real fabric line in full. You convert the yarn counts to tex, calculate the cover factor, and cross-check the weight against the construction before the cost sheet is signed. You take the cuttable width off the quoted width, and you work out what both do to consumption and to the dollars, per garment and across the order.
