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

ASSIGNMENT 2
WEEK 2-5For this assignment we were tasked to finish 2 final toiles by the end.
After discussing with Mr. Kit, I decided to make some changes to the design because I didn't think that the short sleeves that I had initially drew fit the look. So, he recommended to have a long sleeve or leave the dress as sleeveless. Hence, I decided to draft the sleeves for the dress and test the fit.
Week 12-13
Then sewed the base for the top to check the fit.
After that, I proceeded with sewing the layers for the sleeves and attaching it to the top. Then, placing the loop for lacing at the back, front bow and sewing in the lining for the top.
FINAL OUTCOME:
During the first 2 weeks of this assignment, we begin draping on the dummy based on our design concept to get inspiration for our sketches.
DRAPING PICS
Initial drape. Was advised to have more gathers at the bottom of the bust.
Revised version of the drape. Used a bigger panel of fabric.
Final outcome
Draped with lightweight fabrics to get the flowlines of the skirt that I had intended.
Using lace to drape the structure of the fabric making it look more layered.
After various consultation, sketches and drapes with the lecturers. I had finally had my theme down; 'A Love Letter To My Past'. There were certain details that needed to be straightened out. For this collection I intend to use different fabrics such as lace, denim, gingham and also plaid. A more vintage feel to the collection and rustic.
I HAVE STILL YET TO FINALISE THE FABRICS USED FOR EACH LOOK AND I WILL DO SO DURING THE SEMESTER BREAK AND UPDATE IT NEXT SEMESTER ASSOON AS POSSIBLE.
Week 6
By week 6, I started to work on my Look 3 but then I did is as 'LOOK 1'.
Look 3 manipulation:
This was the initial variation sketch for Look 3 that I was exploring.
Look 3 FINAL SKETCH.
I proceeded to do the initial test fit for Look 3. Just the top with sleeves to figure out roughly how to sew the look.
Feedback:
- Increase sleeve and bodice size.
- Remove ribbon
I had then started drafting Look 3 bodice paneling with the sleeves.
I then traced out the patterns and cut out the pattern pieces required. I cut out 2 pieces of each panel to make the panels double facing. I then sewed the irregularly shaped panels, turned it inside out and ironed out the pattern pieces. After arranging the pattern pieces to the shape of the bodice, I used the zig-zag stitch function on the machine to attach all panels together.
As for the skirt, I used a circle skirt pattern this is the rough draft of the skirt:

Week 7 JURY CONSULTATION:
Feedback:
I was advised to have a more concrete research that could help further design the collection. Use various different materials with different textures for the paneling and as for attaching the panels together, use other methods instead of just one such as lacing, hand sewing and etc.
I was also advised to use different types of threads being different textures or even colors.
Week 8-9
I had fixed certain parts of the bodice. As for the sleeves, I used multicolored threads to attach the panels together. I removed the ruffles from the skirt attachment as I figured that it did not go so well with the final product.
Final feedback to be changed on the actual for next semester:
- extend the lower lapel of the collar by 3cm
- extend the curve of front bodice center front downwards by 3cm then curve to side seams.
- Reshape the back panel so that it doesn't drop too much.
FINAL TOILE FOR LOOK 3:
TECHNICAL DRAWING:
Week 10 - 11
During this time, I started to work on my Look 1 after finalizing the line up for the final collection (Week 8).
There were some changes made to Look 1 and 2 in the sketches.
Sketches after changes to the look:
Fit check for Look 1 after drafting the dress top:
After finalizing the fit for the top of the dress, I began sewing the layers for the dress. Initially I was going to attach the layers to the layer before it but was advised to start the layer from the top bodice of the dress to get a better flow for the ruffles.
After discussing with Mr. Kit, I decided to make some changes to the design because I didn't think that the short sleeves that I had initially drew fit the look. So, he recommended to have a long sleeve or leave the dress as sleeveless. Hence, I decided to draft the sleeves for the dress and test the fit.
After some discussion I decided to make the look as sleeveless. I then cut up the patterns in full calico and sewed LOOK 1.
FINAL OUTCOME:
Feedback:
- Make the layers similar length difference from each other.
Ideas for final fabric on Look 1:
TECHNICAL DRAWING:
Look 2: 
There were some changes made to the design:
There were some changes made to the design:
- The handstitched layer was moved to the pants bottom layer
- the double strap for the top was changed to a single strap.
Final Sketch:
This look contains 3 pieces:
- top with extended back cape and front 2 extended panels
- puffer jacket
- layered pants
Draping the top for Look 2 top:
After draping the top, using the waist measurements I had drafted the extension for the top and cut out the calico for those pieces and sewed the top.
As for the puffer jacket, I used a men's block bodice and sleeve to draft the patterns. Then cropped the men's bodice to the desired length. Then, cut out pattern pieces for the jacket and sewed it together.
I then began planning out the layers for the pants. Calculating the circlle pattern to draft for each flared layer. Then, cut out the patterns and sewed it together.
Marking position for strap
As for the 3rd layer of the pants, I drafted a full circle flare and drew the panel to section out the circle then cut out each pattern piece and hand sewed the pattern pieces with a brown yarn.
FINAL OUTCOME:
Changes to be made on design for final:
- reposition the dart on the top
- facing for the bottom of puffer jacket.
TECHNICAL DRAWING:
WEEK 14
Look 4: 
Started with draping the top for look 4. Then, concerted it onto drafting paper then drafted the extension for the top and also the back.
Then sewed the base for the top to check the fit.
After that, I proceeded with sewing the layers for the sleeves and attaching it to the top. Then, placing the loop for lacing at the back, front bow and sewing in the lining for the top.
Lastly, sewed the skirt and sewed a handstitched detail for the top section of the skirt.
FINAL OUTCOME:
Feedback:
- use circle pattern for flares on the sleeves
TECHNICAL DRAWING:
REFLECTION:
through this project, I was really able to sharpen my technical skills in pattern making and sewing thanks to Mr. Brian. I learnt different ways to solve certain issues and overcome my challenges. I hope that the skills that I've learnt now will help me execute my final collection as I had intended to.
