Assignment 02 : Basic Fitted Garment

Shirt with collar

For our second assignment, we are required to make final patern block from the box board with seam allowance for the bodice, sleeves, and collar added. 

Box board without seam allowance

Final pattern block with seam allowance added

Shoulder seams : 1 cm

Neckline : 1 cm

Armhole : 1 cm

Side seams : 2 cm

Next step is tracing the final pattern block onto the colico fabric and cut it.

First of all, sew all the darts. 

Then, sew the sides and shoulder of the bodice together.

Onto the sleeves, it is quite tricky as the lines of the arms and sleeves must meet and might took some time to adjust the pin.

Personally for me, I find it much easier to ensure that the lines are aligned by doing hand sewing first to lock the position, then sew it again with the machine. 

The steps of sewing the collar seem quite complicated at first, but it all make sense when you start sewing it and imagine how the desired outcome should look like. 

After all the parts are attached together, I finish my shirt with hand sewing the edges with invincible sewing method. 

(Apologies for not having the pictures shown Mr. Riza , I only knew we have to take pictures of every process when my garment is almost done, I’ll make sure to take them on my next assignment)

Here are some of the pictures I manage to take :

For the waistband, I measure the waist length and add 3 inches.

The width of my waistband is 2 inches, so that is also the measurement to cut the interfacing fabric.

First, sew the darts and sides together.

Next, attach the invincible zipper to the back side of the skirt. 

 Complete the look by adding the waistband & loop.

And finally, hand stitch the bottom seam with invincible stitching method.
