Week Fourteen

Week Fourteen. 


This week in pattern cutting we created a pattern for a back yoke with an open front seam so we would be able to add a fastening as the neck hole was smaller. We made a pleat for the back panel to allow movement. I like how the back pleat look as it gives a neat detail whilst adding functionality. We cut out two back yokes, one to be a structural part of the bodice and one to hide the seams, I think that this went well as my seams are hidden and back is neat covering most of the original stitching.  We used the burrito method to sew seams together which further developed my understanding of how to do this technique. The only negative to this was as we where working small scale it was difficult to pull the bodice through the neckline as of the bunched-up fabric. I am happy with my toile as the made me know he pattern I made is correct. I also managed to finish this with time left before the lesson ended so I managed to write up my notes from this lesson in my book.

 

In textiles this week, I made my on interpretations of what I the artists work look like to me in my own style. I liked using oil pastels to do this as of the concentrated colour they had which makes a high contrast. Doing this and me think about ways I could show the artist work in my style of how it makes me feel to make it more my own when designing and exploring different techniques. 

 



In photography this week, we didn’t have a teacher so we continued to research artists which link to colour which help me to understand ways the make samples and what colours I could use in my project.

 

In CAD this week we made digital fashion flats using the pen tool to trace over an image. I found this helpful as it made me sure of what they should look like and how I can add detail to my fashion flats.


 

In stretch this week I added hook and eyes to the back of my bodice, I did this because in the Royal Ballet they use hook and eyes to allow the costume to fit more than one person. To finish this all I need to do is add eyelets to the straps so they can tie together.

Week Ten.

 Week Ten.     In pattern cutting this week, we finalised our skirt designs that we had drawn at home. I think my skirt designs where successful because I have explored a range of skirt styles whilst still making sure they all relate to each other. I did this by making a start design and adjusting this about it, for example, the godet size, length or number of panels.    In our next lesson we started to make our pattern for our skirt, I decided to go with my design for a six gored panel skirt with four godets. I made this pattern by reflecting to previous bookwork to remind me of the steps. I think this went well as my pattern works. I know this because when we made our toiles for the skirt at home everything lined up and was correctly measured.     At home this week I made my toile for my skirt, this went well as I learnt my pattern w orks and I had no issues when sewing this together.     In textiles this week I started to work ...

  Blog Twelve. In Pattern cutting, this lesson, I finished off making my skirt. I added the zip with an invisible zip foot which went well. I'm proud of how my zip has turned out as you cant see it beneath the fabric of the skirt. After I used the normal zip foot to attach the skirt together, this was harder to do as you can't get as close to the seam, however, the seams still looks neat from the outside. At home all I had to do was attach the facing and undertsitched it,so i'm proud of my progress and completing my skirt in good time.  In my last lesson before the hand in I made sure all my work was presented well and I stuck in the final photos of my skirt that I had evaluated. I'm glad that I managed to hand in all my work on time.  In textiles this week I made sure that my work was ready to hand in for Friday. I did this by printing out and repeating my final designs and adding in my recent samples to help show my development in my sketchbook.  In my final lesson...

Work experience - Day one

Work Experience  Today was my first day of work experience at a secondary schools textile department and I started by preparing the screen printing station for the year seven students. I located the screen printing inks and squeegees and put these aside so that they can be used for the teacher demonstration. I decided to put out a range of sizes of these so that the teacher can choose which size of frame she wants to use in her demonstration. Once she decided this I then put away the larger size so that the area wasn’t cluttered. As this was my first time screen printing I was a bit apprehensive as I wand t sure how to do it but once I had watched the demonstration I was confident I would be able to help.    I helped the students put ink on there frames and hold them down when they print to ensure there’s less wastage of dyes. To further make less waste I scrape excess ink into the pot between prints. After everyone has screen printed I made sure to wash all the supplies ...
