TASK 01: MASTER PATTERN BLOCK (WEEK 1 - 4)



During the 4/4/2023, we had an online meeting that night. Ms. Melina had briefed us on our upcoming projects which is creating women's pattern blocks.


Measurement guide.


Basic bodice block (women's).


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 bodice block size 10 & 12.


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. 


Drafting for women's skirt size 12. 
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. 



After Ms. Melina had checked our work, we begin to transfer it onto manila card.



Final submission for women's bodice block size 12.



Final submission for women's basic skirt block size 12.



Final submission for women's basic sleeves size 12.

During that weekend, I started on the men's block size 12 for bodice and sleeves.


Basic man's sleeves size 12.
I followed the measurements given to us in our notes and sketched the basic sleeve block. Now, I am able to know the basic construction of a sleeve and try it out in my future projects. 



Basic men's bodice block size 12.
The men's bodice block was a lot easier than the females in my opinion. I followed the measurements given and traced accordingly on a manila paper.

 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 )

  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
