ALTERATIONS
After putting the dress on the model we decided to make alterations and have a half zip and a really low back. IT IS FINISHEDDD!
FINAL PIECE
I am really happy with my final dress, It was hard to sew because of the weight of the fabric and i struggled with my topstitching and facing but I managed to do it
FINAL DESIGNS
Now we had done 1 group members pattern piece, Another group members toile it was time to do the final group members dress.
I went to a fabric shop at home and got a really good deal on some black cotton drill
PASS IT ON
The pattern I cut Was for my group members Varaj
Below is the design I was given. It wasnt too hard to do just full of panels.
TOILES
Today our group started on our pattern pieces for the next group members design so we could start our toiles
Machine Work
Today we continued making samples for our fabric file
I made 2 pockets I am very proud of
Today in our lesson we had to make a pattern piece of our block dresses and then mould them with celotape to a manniquinne.
Doing this and then cutting it off the stand created firm structures, and after this we had to cut into these pieces and make pattern pieces for them.
This exercise helped us creating 2-d pattern pieces from a 3d structure when it is usually the other way round. It was very helpful this way
SEWING FILE
While making a collection we also have produce a sewing file.
This consists of making samples of hems, Zips and pockets.
I havent used an industrial machine for quite a while so it took alot of time but I am slowly getting there
PATTERN CUTTING
So Today We did Pattern Cutting
PATTERN CUTTING IS NOT MY STRONG POINT, However practice makes perfect!
The task was to cut out a block dress and from there whenever we are makig a dress we can refer to our block dress pattern.
I am so happy with how it went, I am picking up new skills
