Abstract
Computers have led to the development of new technology for which fashion has not been left out. One of the expectations of graduates of Home Economics Education in the Federal College of Education, Zaria is to enter into gainful employment with the carrier and technical training they have acquired. Information and communication technology tools are not applied in the teaching and learning of clothing and textile in the area of study as a result of that they find it difficult to understand pattern technology, garment technology and Fashion illustration. In spite of the importance of Clothing to man as food and shelter, students still find it difficult to cope with Clothing and Textiles education in Federal College of Education, Zaria. The paper recommends that, the Management should be well focused and persists in the support on the uses of ICT in teaching and learning so that students will show positive attitudes towards using computer program on learning pattern drafting. And the practical teaching hours in pattern drafting, garment construction and cutting out be increased.
