Interlinings, Threads and Trims
You cover everything in the garment that is not the face fabric: the fused interlining, the sewing thread, and the buttons, zips, elastics, labels, and cords. And you see why two percent of the cost causes a disproportionate share of the failures.

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 work three files for one style. You write a fusing specification with peel-bond limits dry and after wash. You build a thread consumption and cost calculation operation by operation from stitch-type ratios. And you write a trim test plan naming what fails, which test finds it, and at which lot.
