Question 11 - ATCFAI (8 marks)
2020
(a) What has led to the increased availability of sun-protective work clothing with rating UPF 50+?
(b) A sportswear company is planning to launch a niche clothing range that uses fabric made from used plastic (PET) bottles. How does this demonstrate appropriate and sustainable use of resources?

Question 12 - Design (8 marks)
2020
(a) The flow chart sets out the main principles of dyeing. (3 marks)
wetting > immersion > agitation > migration > exhaustion > diffusion > fixation out
Explain what happens during migration and fixation in the dyeing process.
(b) Explain how traditional textile production methods or art forms can be used in a contemporary textile item to express cultural identity. Use examples from a culture you have studied.

Question 14 - Design (8 marks)
2020
The success of textile designers often depends on their ability to respond to internal and/or external factors. Consider the factors that a designer you have studied has responded to. Explain how the responses to those factors have contributed to the designer’s success.
