Assignment 2

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 semester we were still new, and our design lecturer guided us throughout the process. Hence, it was quite challenging for me at first since I had no idea how to start. However, after Ms. explained it to me, I gained a better understanding of technical drawings  which we only need to draw the basic top and bottom of our designs according to the desired length. We don’t need to include any manipulations or decorations because pattern making focuses on creating the base structure of the garment. After that explanation, I was able to draw better and understand the rules involved in creating technical drawings.

This is my final outcome:

Overall, my experience this week was quite exciting. After finishing my technical drawings, I realized that I’ll be creating a dress for the first time, as well as a long slit skirt. I’m really looking forward to next week’s pattern drafting session. Of course, I’ll also do some research on pattern making for my designs. Since this is my first time creating two looks, I feel both excited and a bit nervous about whether I can complete everything before the submission deadline.

Week 06:

LESSON OF THE WEEK

To start the class, Ms. told us to begin working on our pattern making for the final looks. She mentioned that we only need to submit one test fit at the end of the month, which made me feel less stressed since I initially thought we had to complete two test fits within three weeks that would have been very rushed. Even though we only need to submit one test fit, we still have to do the pattern making for both looks since we will be sewing two final looks using the actual fabric.

MISSION OF THE WEEK

This week, we started doing pattern making, so it’s better to complete the process within the week.

During class, I worked on draping for my first look, which is a swimsuit with a drawstring design. I used a thrifted T-shirt for the draping since it’s stretchable, similar to the actual fabric I plan to use.

After completing the draping, I found out from my friends that we only need to submit one test fit. Therefore, I decided to choose the easier design for the test fit, as it would take less time and allow me to focus more on the pattern making process for the other final look. However, I still need to find suitable fabrics like jerseys or thrifted jerseys for draping, so that I can accurately determine the pattern size and fit.

While waiting to get the fabrics, I consulted with Ms., who advised me that I could work on the bottom part of the dress separately by drafting the pattern first. This way, I can use my time efficiently to complete parts of the outfit in stages.

Overall, this week has been exciting as I’m looking forward to seeing my designed looks come to life. I also realized that pattern making is becoming easier than I expected compared to previous semesters. I’ve learned to do research on Pinterest for pattern making references, which helps me explore and experiment on my own. I find the pattern making process really enjoyable now, hence it has become my favorite stage in creating a fashion outfit.
