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. When cutting the fabric, it is also necessary to determine how and how much each part should be cut. In the process of sewing, I think it is the most difficult part to sew the leader and the belt, because I misse...

Week 13: Final Project Pattern—Sleeve seams, collar seams, and waist cinching. Date: 17 July 2025 Title: Final finishing touch—suture 🏞️ Visual Documentation: 📸 Image 1-Sleeve seams 📸 Image 2-collar seams 📸 Image 3-waist cinching 🧵 Process Summary: This week, I have entered the final stage of my final design. 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

Week 13: Making the collar and pleats Date: 15 July 2025 Title: Making the collar and pleats 🏞️ Visual Documentation: 📸 Image 1—Drafting pattern (collar & pleats) 📸 Image 2—Hand-sewn collar and pleats process 📸 Image 3—Finished 🧵 Process Summary: This week I made the pleats on the collar and sleeves. Mr. Jr. helped me draw the pattern and asked me to buy yarn for hand sewing. After finishing the sewing, I sewed the lining. 🧠 Weekly Reflection: Using wool to sew is a new thing for me. This process makes my hand-sewing foundation more solid, and there are no mistakes in this process. 📹 [Optional Video Clip]: hand sewing video

Week 12: Fabric cutting and sewing Date: 10 July 2025 Title: Fabric cutting and sewing 🏞️ Visual Documentation: 📸 Image 1—Skirt belt fabric cutting 📸 Image 2—Collar texture fabric cutting 📸 Image 3—Front and back of shirt and cuff fabric cutting 🧵 Process Summary: This week I cut the fabric for each section of the shirt and sewed the front and back of the shirt. 🧠 Weekly Reflection: I've gotten pretty good at cutting out the pattern and sewing the front and back of the shirt; it's just a matter of paying attention to what not to cut in two. 📹 [Optional Video Clip]: cutting video

Week 12: Drawing of collar and pleats Date: 8 July 2025 Title: Drawing of collar and pleats 🏞️ Visual Documentation: 📸 Image 1—Technical drawing of collars 📸 Image 2—Technical drawing of pleats 🧵 Process Summary: Today I drew the technical drawings for my collar and pleats, pinned them to the fabric, and cut them out. 🧠 Weekly Reflection: The experience of making collars and pleats is something I have never experienced before. It is a very fresh but challenging task, and I think I can do it well. 📹 [Optional Video Clip]: learning video1 learning video2

Week 11: Technical drawing of front and back of shirt and sleeves Date: 3 July 2025 Title: Drawing of front and back of shirt and sleeves 🏞️ Visual Documentation: 📸 Image 1—Technical drawing of front and back of shirt 📸 Image 2—Technical drawing of sleeves 🧵 Process Summary: Today I used Mahjong paper to create technical drawings of the front, back and sleeves of the shirt 🧠 Weekly Reflection: The front and back of the shirt I drew today are different from the basic shirts I made before. 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. 📹 [...

This class we went to see a fashion show，I went to see the works of my seniors.

Week 10: Make a skirt out of linen Date: 26 June 2025 Title: Make a skirt out of linen 🏞️ Visual Documentation: 🧵 Process Summary: Because I had already drawn the pattern for the skirt last week, I cut the fabric directly from the linen and sewed it together. 🧠 Weekly Reflection: When I cut the fabric, I cut the back part into two pieces, and then I did it again. I think I may not remember these basics very well. 📹 [Optional Video Clip]: learning video

This week Teacher JR checked my technical drawing and did some adjustments for me.  Here is the drawing I finally chose. This week Teacher JR checked my technical drawing and did some adjustments for me.  Here is the drawing I finally chose. Because I wanted to use butterfly wing decorations on my skirt (like a bubble skirt), but it might be a bit difficult, so I used a basic skirt instead.   Reflection This week JR helped me modify the design of my skirt, and I realized that some design ideas need to be considered from many aspects, such as aesthetics and feasibility. . .

This week we start doing our final design pattern. Based on the model's waist and hip circumference, we need to make one suitable skirt for the model who is our choice. I choose KAIYING to be my model, so all the data is about her. At the beginning, I wanted to make one basic skirt and many patterns, like butterfly-shaped coverings on it, but this idea was rejected by teacher JR. Reflection This week we start doing our final design; i think it's a big challenge for me. We need to make our design, which is by ourselves.The process of making the skirt was relatively simple for me at the beginning. I was confident that I could complete the next task smoothly.

VISUAL DOCUMENTATION: Task 2 PPT  needs changing. In storyboard 5, designer's vision, you should look at your own work from your own perspective, not other designers’. PROCESS SUMMARY: The final design was finalized this week, and some PPT errors were corrected under the teacher's guidance. Weekly reflection This week I revised my PPT for Task 2. I realized that I still have a lot to learn. Some requirements needed to be corrected because of my misunderstanding.

This week we start doing the shirt.Ms. Melina gave us some models about kinds of part in the shirt and we need drawing these and cut. The above process is going well, next we need to sew them together. I made some mistakes during the stitching process, but I corrected them with the help of my classmates and Ms. Melina. The pocket seam above is wrong as in the photo. The seam is loose and not very pretty, so I took it apart and re-sewn it. This is the pocket after I made the corrections. During the entire sewing process, I think sewing the collar was the most difficult, which required a lot of positioning stitches, but it was done. In addition to the collar, sewing the sleeves was also difficult, but I forgot to take pictures. I removed the stitches many times during the process and was not satisfied with most of them. The last time I tore the sleeve part and had to cut a new one... Weekly reflection This week we learned to make shirts. I think the process is not too difficult but not e...

Fabric Sourcing & hunting This week we also need to do fabric hunting to buy our base fabric/trimmings/jacket interfacing and etc... Blow are the fabric names of we need to go to buy（ Must choose white or off-white） a. Off white cotton canvas b.Off white cotton drill c.Off white cotton poplin d.Off white cotton polyester Technical drawing This week we need to complete the final design of five technical drawings, both front and back. Weekly reflection After technical drawing, we start buying fabric which is  suitable for our clothes that our designing. This requires us to examine some fabrics, so we can learn what different fabric materials are needed for each garment pattern.

Technical drawing In the seventh class, the teacher taught us how to draw technical drawings. After we draw the paper, we need to use the software EVERNOTE SCANNABLE to scan the electronic version. Before technical drawing, we need to make drawing templates of the top and pants, and then cut them out for drawing. The following is my first set of design works Weekly reflection This week we start doing the technical drawings. This part is my most like which in the whole designing. Because i like paper drawing very much and w hen I was a kid I loved drawing the clothes I wanted to design.But before I really learned how to draw these clothes, I felt that I was still too unprofessional. Before drawing the technical drawings, we need to make a mini version of the pattern first. On this basis, the clothes we draw can more clearly show the specific parts such as the hip line and knee line.I learned a lot of professional drawing knowledge and I am very happy
