FINAL PROJECT AND PORTFOLIO

 FINAL PROJECT 




After finalising all my designs, I had begun executing the designs using actual fabric. 
Main fabric used: Light weight denim (dark blue)
I had chosen light weight denim as it is both versatile and functional. Denim is also known as one of the most durable fabrics known till date. 

LOOK 1 

Design description:
  • 3 cm standing collar light denim jacket
  • 41 cm jacket zip
  • Pocket at cuff of sleeves for insertion of fidget toy
  • Single box-pleat at the back of garment.
Design Construction Process: 
Using the pattern that I had drafted I began cutting out the actual fabric (light weight denim) for the final look. 



After cutting out the patterns, I began attaching the panels of the garment beginning with the box pleats at the back of the bodice. 
Seam used: Flat felled seam (to create a seamless look) 
I used the flat felled seam for the box pleat and also to attach the shoulder line for the front and back panel of the bodice. 



After attaching the shoulders, I sewed on the 3cm standing collar to the bodice and proceeded with the detachable zip and facing. For this, I just used a straight stitch (no finishing because the facing will cover up the raw edges). 


I had then attached the sleeves and overlocked the raw edges of the seam. Later I sewed a straight line to flatten the seam. 

Before finishing, I had to attach the cuff of the sleeves. During the visit, they had recommended to add a pocket to remove the stress ball (hygiene purposes). I also lined the inside of the cuffs so that it doesn't come apart when they consistently use it to remove the stress ball.



 So, I decided to make a small pocket on the inside of the cuffs to make it a seamless look. 



I had completely forgotten to add the zip flap so, I was only able to attach it at the end. After attaching the zip flap, I sewed on the pockets for the front panel.


Lastly, I hemmed the bodice with a 2cm allowance.

LOOK 2 
Description: 
  • Loose fitted pants with various pockets
  • Elastic waistband
  • Fake fly
  • Heart-shaped cutouts on pocket of pants.

Design Construction Process:

I started with the cargo pockets of the pants. I decided to add a heart-shaped cut out onto the pockets as it seemed quite plain. 



I then attached the cargo pockets to the pants. Sewed the front pockets to the front panel of the pants. Then the back pockets to the back of the pants. 

I then used the reinforce stitch at the corners of the pockets. 



Lastly, I attached all the panels together and sewed on the full elastic waistband and hemmed the pants.

LOOK 3 
Design Description: 
  • Loose fit light weight denim short sleeves hoodie.
  • magnetic snap button to hang plushies
  • oversized hoodie
  • heart-shaped cutout pockets
  • Single box pleat to ease movement.
Design Construction Process:
For my 3rd design, I decided to use the same pattern as LOOK 1 but instead of a standing collar, I would add a hoodie and also shorten the sleeves by 25cm. I also added a detachable fidget toy as a feature to the design.

Short sleeve pattern

I cut out all the pieces using calico. 

I then cut out the lining fabric just for the front of the bodice. (lightweight pink cotton) 
Then I began attaching the panels together with the same stitches as LOOK 1 but instead of a collar I attached the oversized hoodie. 


I attached the lining to the facing of the fabric before attaching the detachable zip to the bodice. 


I had also sewed in the heart shaped cut out pockets to the bodice before attaching the zip.


Then I sewed in the side seams of the bodice attaching it to the lining. 
Before hemming the top, I hand sewed the magnetic snap buttons that I had purchased from SHOPEE.


After that, I hemmed the bodice with a baby seam finishing. 


There were a couple of options that I found for the hanging fidget toys.
Option 1

Option 2

I decided to go with option 2

LOOK 4
Design Description: 
  • Loose fit light weight denim short sleeves with inner printed hoodie.
  • Calming print used in facing and hoodie lining.
  • Oversized hoodie.
  • Single box pleat to ease movement.
Design Construction Process:
I had used the same exact pattern as LOOK 2 but only added the owl print for the hoodie lining and also facing of the bodice. 

I used the same sewing technique as LOOK 1 & 3 to attach the back yoke and shoulder line (flat-felled seam). After sewing that, I started to work on the hoodie. I used the hoodie lining (owl print) onto the hoodie. 


 

Then proceeded to attach the hoodie to the bodice and continued sewing the facing and sleeves with the same method as LOOK 3. After attaching the zip I hemmed the garment with a 3cm seam allowance.

ASSIGNMENT 02 - INITIATING FINAL PRODUCT LINE

Image
 In this assignment, I am translating my earlier research findings into functional, adaptive garments. The goal is to experiment with various functional design elements while addressing consumer pain points and filling market gaps. Working independently, I will focus on creating innovative design solutions tailored to the needs I identified. On the 23rd of October, we made a visit to NASOM center in Batu Caves. The National autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) is a society formed in 1986 by a group of parents and professionals with the aim to deliver lifespan services to the community of persons suffering from autism. We spent 3 hours on our visit where they had given us a tour around the place.  There were many interactive elements around the rooms to keep the kids engaged. Some include rooms with different functions. One of it that caught my attention was this light tube that you had to pump for the bubbles to rise up the liquid.  We had also carried out a game session wi...

Garment Creation Technology 1

 GARMENT CREATION TECHNOLOGY 1  ASSIGNMENT 1 During our first week of class, we were briefed on the semesters schedule and flow of all future assignments. Then we started with our first assignment.  For our first assignment, we were tasked with creating a Clo3D version of one of our previous designs. I chose to remake the kids' adaptive clothing design I developed in the previous semester. Top Front Top Back Pants Front Pants Back These were the designs that I chose to transfer to Clo3D. I did make a few adjustments to the design when recreating it in Clo3D as I was unable to replicate the exact design.  As for the top, I removed the snap button detail and also the zip flap. Instead, I made the zip a 2-way zipper on CLO3D. Besides that, there was a box pleat at the back of the top. As I was unable to replicate that detail on CLO3D, I replaced it with a gather stitch to have a similar function for the top, ease movement.  Final outcome:  Front Back Technical...

ASSIGNMENT 01 - INTRODUCTION TO 3D CREATION

Image
 For our first assignment, we were tasked to complete 3 complete outfit variations using CLO3D.  1st Variation:  Basic bodice block and skirt. For this design, I had drafted a pattern for a basic bodice and skirt following the guidance of Dr.Alshaima. After drafting the basic bodice on the 2D pattern, I continued to simulate the garment by adjusting it around the body to check the fit of the garment. On the 1st fit, I found out that the bodice was slightly loose. So, I reduced the waist size sinching it in.  This is the final outcome of the 1st Variation:  Front  Back Final 2D pattern 2nd Variation:  For my 2nd Variation, I decided to do a short, ruffled sleeves with a dip V-neck front and back bodice paired with a pencil skirt. As for the patter, I adjusted the front bodice neckline to a V-neck (same with the back) and used rectangle strips for the ruffled strips. I had to adjust the elasticity of the ruffles a number of times to get a clean look for ...
