TASK 02 : BASIC FITTED GARMENT (WEEK 4 - 9)


During week 5, we had started drafting the master block for women's bodice according to model's size. We were guided step by step throughout the process and was given detailed explanations followed by additional information.


Figure 1 : We started by drawing the base/ basics which was bust line,hip and waist line.

I really liked and preferred this method as it was easy to follow and precise to its details. The measurements were given, and additional standardized measurements were given.

  During week 7 and 8, we had started on our task 2 which was the construction of a basic fitted garment with skirt, sleeves and collar. We were guided by Ms. Melina throughout this process to produce a properly executed and constructed garment. 

The Sketching of Pattern Blocks on Mahjong Paper.

We traced a basic fitted garment onto mahjong paper and slashed the darts then we retraced the block onto the mahjong paper with the dart manipulation.

FINALLY DONE WITH TASK 2!! 
I really enjoyed this task as it required more technical work and I was satisfied with the outcome. I was able to widen my knowledge as I had just started sewing. 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I just want to say a special thanks to Ms. Melina for guiding us throughout this project and staying late for us to finish it up. I am forever indebted and grateful. Also never forgetting our beloved assistant teacher, which is one of my dear friends, Joey. She helped us so much and stayed back even though she was done with the task. Thank you so much for your help and guidance!! <3

 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
