Week 05: LESSON OF THE WEEK
 To start the class, Ms. briefed us on Assignment 2 and what we need to do for the upcoming weeks, which is to begin pattern drafting and test fitting. Since this is a Pattern Technology module, we will need to submit our pattern drafting outcomes using the scanner machine in Mayamode and then create a digital copy. As most of us only started finalizing our designs this week, some have not yet confirmed their designs, and others have not started their technical drawings. Therefore, for the rest of the session, Ms. allowed us to finalize our designs and complete the technical drawings so that we can start pattern drafting as soon as possible, especially since we only have about a month to finish this assignment. MISSION OF THE WEEK
 We need to complete our technical drawings this week so that our pattern drafting lecturer will know what styles we plan to create for our designs. This is my first time drawing technical drawings by myself, as during the previous...

Week 01: LESSON OF THE WEEK This week marked the beginning of the semester and our very first class for this module. Since it was also our first time having class with Dr. Alshaimaa, she began with a short self-introduction and asked us to introduce ourselves as well, so she could remember our names. After this small ice-breaking session, she introduced the overall module and explained the assignments we will be working on throughout the semester.  Because the software we will be using is licensed, all assignments and weekly progress tasks can only be completed in class using the university’s facilities. MISSION OF THE WEEK As this was only the first week, there were no assignments yet. Instead, we completed the Week 1 weekly task during class. The task was to explore the software Lectra and familiarize ourselves with its tools. Since this was our first time using it, Dr. Alshaimaa also recorded several online sessions on MyTimes to guide us step by step. Overall, I felt ...

Week 01: LESSON OF THE WEEK Part 1:  Mr. Daniel started the class by briefing us about this module and the assignments we will be working on this semester. This semester, we are collaborating with Converse . We will be receiving thrift Converse shoes, which must first be cleaned properly since hygiene is very important. After that, we will deconstruct the shoes and transform them into our designed fashion looks. However, not everyone will get the chance to showcase their designs at the fashion show, only those selected by the lecturers and Converse will be chosen. Mr. Daniel also emphasized several times that he does not want us to use shiny fabrics, such as satin, for this project. Instead, we will be sewing with thrifted clothes or pants, as the project emphasizes sustainability . Therefore, we are encouraged to hunt for suitable fabrics at thrift shops. Part 2:  Mr. Daniel then showed us a video featuring fashion designers who created brand-new collections using thrifted cl...
