WEEK 4 24/4/2023 CONTINUATION OF OUR SAMPLINGS ( no classes due to public holiday )

 


During week 4, I had continued with my samplings and had managed to complete 4 samplings alltogether. I tried to do as many geometrical patterns as I could. 


As a continuation from week 3, I had completed the 2nd sampling which included swirly lines creating a wave-like pattern. 



After that I moved on to my third sampling which included panels as patterns. 



Moving on to my third sample. 



While trying new techniques, I found this spiral pattern and really liked it.


This is my finalised 4th sample.



STORY WRITE-UP

Crochet is a method of creating a pattern by using thread, yarn, and other materials. It is done by looping the yarns together or as some may say it is a knotting technique. These interlocking loops remind me of family bonds that are tight, united, and together. It creates various patterns that also pictures a family in different ways. The different colors can be seen as the various emotions felt and these colors are joined together no matter what leading to an understanding and accepting environment. Each loop strengthens the crochet work and brings it together, same goes to a family bond, with every initiative taken the bond only gets tighter and stronger.

GCD61304 Intercultural Design

 INTERCULTURAL DESIGN ACADEMIC BLOG Project 1: PROPOSAL On our first class leture for intercultural design, we held an online meeting. We were roughly briefed on our programme structure and  the Module Information Booklet (MIB). We were given the task to create a proposal revolving on the theme of "Cultural Sensitivity in Design". This is a very general theme which could be covered in different aspects. However, as we were divided into teams of 6 members that were given the opportuinity to carry out this study in Japan. Hence, our design topic had to be cultural sensitivity specified in Japan. Without wasting any time, we had a meeting outside our class and brainstormed ideas. These are the 3 main ideas that we had come up with:  1. Tattoo Culture in Japan 2. Torii Gates 3. Yami Kawaii Aesthetic.  Tattoo Japan is well known for its symbolism and the legends that surround its unique forms, which include dragons, chrysanthemums, and cherry blossoms. These symbols are frequently

Task 01: GARMENT DRAPING – BASIC TOP

Image
  Draping is a technique used to make a 3-dimensional dress pattern with the aid of a dress form figure by pinning and placing fabric against the form to create a garment. Typically, designers use muslin, which is cost-efficient and offered in a variety of weights.  To start off the project, we started constructing our bust tape with the measurement of 8cm wide and 50cm in length. For this assignment, I used calico. After measuring out the bust tape, I cut it out. Then, ironed the bust tape while folding it into 4 equal parts.  This is how the bust tape looked like after ironing it.  Firstly, we opened up the folds and sewed a straight line down the center then sewed a topstitch 1cm folding both ends. After folding it back, sew a straight line across the center. length wise. The bust tape is then ready to be used. I had taped the bust tape across the bust line onto the mannequin with the center stitch matching to the left of the CFL. PREPARING THE CALICO : We were required to cut two p

FINAL PROJECT ( WEEK 9 - 14 )

Image
  During week 9, after finalizing our 10 different designs in Introduction to Fashion Design classes, we had sat down and started drafting the patterns for the show in July. We discuss with both lecturers and come up with a reasonable design and simplified one.  LOOK 1 Figure 1  I had come up with a vest design for my top as it would be simple and easy to construct. The main attraction would be the texture that is added to the top.  Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 I tried to do the pattern pieces for the garment using the drafted patterns, but the design didn't look as what I wanted to show. So, I had decided to wait and ask advice from Ms. Melina during our next class.  Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 I did a test pattern to make sure the fit was right for model size. During that weekend I had cut out the pattern pieces that I had sketched with an allowance of 1.5 cm all around using scrap fabric that I found at home.  At the end of the week, we went for fabric shopping with Ms.Me
