FCCLA STAR Event, Fashion Construction
Fashion construction is an individual event that recognizes participants who apply Fashion Construction skills learned in Family and Consumer Sciences courses and create a display using samples of their skills. Using new materials, participants construct in advance a garment or ensemble that dresses both the upper and lower body of a child or an adult. Garment/ensemble must include at least eight fashion construction techniques. Display finished product along with appropriate accessories. Participants must prepare a display, sample garment, and an oral presentation.

Resource Guide Components This resource guide addresses the 17 possible skill
requirements specified in the Fashion Construction Event guidelines, from which students are to select eight skills to include in their garment. Many of the 17 skills include several sub-skills or variations, 50 sub-skills in all. For example, the zipper skill is subdivided into hidden zipper, centered zipper, and lapped zipper. For each of the 50 sub-skills, the manual includes a PowerPoint slide that provides a link to a selected YouTube video and page number reference from the Simplicity sewing book. Multiple videos were reviewed and the most clear, well-designed video chosen for each sub-skill. The PowerPoint has been designed with jump capability linking from the table of contents to the specific sub-skill slide. The manual can be used with a whole class or by individual students.

Video Selection Criteria
Clarity. The skills were shown in a non-distracting format, with contrasting color between thread and fabric.
Preferred length. The video was 5-10 minutes in length. Video angle. The focus was on the fabric and the skill
being demonstrated. The angle was over the shoulder, or directly above the skill, zooming in when needed. The camera was still, not constantly moving.
Skill demonstration and explanation. The demonstrator was well prepared using little movement and emphasizing the skill. A step-by-step verbal explanation of the skill demonstrated each step. If a technical term was used it was defined it in an easily understood way. Key skills were repeated for better comprehension.
Copyright © Kathryn D. Campbell 2015
Video Selection Process
The following process was used to select the how-to videos used in this resource guide:
Entered key words in the YouTube search field: “How to (and the specific skill).”
From the search list, identified the four or five videos with the largest number of views, usually 35,000 to 90,000 views.
Viewed each of the identified four or five videos. Most videos were 5-10 minutes.
Selected the best video based on the four criteria shown in the next slide.
Sent the videos to two reviewers with sewing backgrounds to ensure the videos were correct and easily understood. The reviewers were a current Family and Consumer Sciences teacher with a background in fashion construction and a professional seamstress with a degree in fashion who owns and operates a custom design and sewing business.
