This week we have a presentation on our assignment; no classes are scheduled. This final design is a very interesting challenge for me. I have learned a lot this semester, such as the use of a sewing machine and the method of manual sewing, but these are all basic knowledge. The important thing is that I learned to make shirts and skirts, and I made my own clothes with my own design, which gave me a sense of accomplishment. In this learning process, from drawing technical drawings to making templates, then cutting out the corresponding fabrics and finally sewing them together. In fact, each step has corresponding difficulties. For example, when drawing technical drawings, I need to measure each circumference of the model, and the error should not be too different when drawing.

First, I sewed the two sleeves together, locked the edges, and then sewed the collar and waist. I made the waist part roughly in the same way as the sleeves. 🧠 Weekly Reflection: This week, when I was sewing the cuffs, before sewing them, I cut the cuff fabric wrong and had to make two new pieces. There were no problems with the sewing process afterwards. 📹 [Optional Video Clip]: cuff sewing

Because I planned to make the shirt short and have a bulging feeling like a lantern sleeve at the bottom, I felt a little difficulty during the drawing process. Then when I was drawing the technical drawings for the sleeves, because my sleeves were different from the previous basic styles, I wanted to make lantern sleeves. I felt very difficult during the drawing process and couldn't find the direction. But then I saw the drawing process that Melina searched on Pinterest and I got a clue. 📹 [...
