week3 (05-May to 09-May)

This is my third Introduction to Pattern Drafting & Garment Making class.Today we learned two pieces layout in the class begin.Dr.Melina taught us how to draw these two in the calico.


And then we try to make it by ourselves.



Based on what we have learned before, leave 2.5cm on the bottom and right sides. Leave 1cm on the rest. Then cut out this pattern.

After this job,Dr.Melina taught us how to use the sewing machine which one in the classroom.

After Dr.Melina showed how to use it,we each tried it once.


In the today last class,A very interesting task was assigned by Dr.Melina.She let us to use sewing machine to making eyelets in the paper,i think this work could make us when the progress of sewing clothes in the future, we can make sure the line are straight.

And today's last job is Dr.Melina let us to draw a semicircle and a half circle in the calico,then we need to using sewing machine sew along the drawn lines, making five stitches each.(but i forget take the progress picture)

The line on the left was my operating error, because I didn't know how to adjust the direction when using the sewing machine. Later, I asked my classmates and found out that there is a baffle on the right leg under the sewing machine. I can push the needle and the plate pressing the cloth higher by using my leg.


This week, we also learned how to draw the front and back of a shirt and the pattern for the sleeves.

That's all.

Reflection

I feel that I still lack practice in how to use the sewing machine and have not yet mastered the method. Also, when using the sewing machine, the stitches I sew are not very beautiful, and I need more practice.
