Week 2 11/4/2023 - TASK 1 : PATTERN BLOCK MAKING
During week 2, we had started drafting our pattern blocks in mahjong paper. We had finished up the checking for women's sleeves, bodice block and skirt. Then transferred it onto manila card. After checking our pattern blocks. Ms.Melina had begin teaching various hand sewing techniques that are needed to be submitted for our first assignments. The pattern blocks final would be on the manila card and then submitted for the assignment too.

I have had made a few mistakes on my pattern blocks and was corrected to the right method to do so. We were given certain measurements to follow from our notes in the google drive.

The drafting for the women's bodice block was very tricky especially for the armhole. I had to redraw the armhole several times till I was taught the right way to do so. Which is, instead of drawing it in one shot, separate it and try to get an even curve all around. Besides that, it was smooth sailing.

Drafting for women's sleeves for size 12.
The sleeves were a bit easier as we were guided step by step. Especially the curve, we were taught a certain method to get the right curve which is to draw a triangle and then separate the parts with a certain length according to the measurements then draw a smooth curve.

The skirt block was really easy as it required very little curves and was easy to follow up according to our guides in the slides.

Basting stitch.
The basting stitch, also known as tacking, can be defined as a long running stitch mainly used to temporarily hold two or more layers of fabric together until they can be properly sewn with a permanent stitch.

Invisible stitch.
An invisible stitch in sewing is a method of joining two pieces of fabric so that the stitch thread is invisible, or nearly invisible. Invisible stitching hides stitching under folded edges. Therefore, this type of stitch can be used to create a blind hem or to join two folded edges together.

Overcast stitch.
Overcast stitching is a type of edge finishing stitch. It can be sewn by hand or using an overcast stitch machine. This stitch can be used to neaten up edges and prevent raw edges of fabric unraveling.

Back stitch
Back stitch is a type of sewing and embroidery stitch that forms a solid line of stitching on both sides of the fabric. It is made by sewing one stitch length backward on the front side and two stitch lengths forward on the reverse side. It is often used to outline shapes and add fine detail to an embroidered picture.
