What I intend to do in this unit
Pattern cutting
-I will create a set of patterns for a variety of garments
-At this stage I will be helped step by step by staff to create accurate patterns
-I will also gain experience in modelling patterns and toiles of each garment on a stand.
-I want to elaborate a range or patterns to show quality control processes.
Construction
-I will learn how to sew and finish garments in a variety of fabrics. For example creating hems, folds, topstitches etc
-I will make samples of everything learnt to refer back to when making and constructing garments.
-I will learn how to place patterns on to fabrics, then cutting and preparing for the construction of garments.
-I want to build confidence with sewing machines and pressing to construct garments to a high finish.
I enjoyed the first unit Pattern cutting and Construction. Found pattern cutting quite simple and I understood and learnt basic skills. However after assessment realized I could have taken more time to make it neat and tidy. I didn’t enjoy construction as much as I was frustrated with the machines at first but after a couple of weeks I improved quite a lot. Again I needed to pay more attention to detail and make my work neater and more professional. I was happy with my assessment mark but don’t want to consider specialising in these areas as I found them quite difficult and that made it harder to enjoy. I feel that I have learnt a lot from these lessons however and look at garments in a completely different light now that I know how they are prepaired and constructed.
