This weeks lesson aim was to teach the students of the class, create a garment pattern and understanding the whole process of it on a human body. Starting with the pattern of a woman's top, the tutors illustrated in simple steps how we start a pattern. Then, spreading up in teams of two, we had to taken responsibility of the front and the back, so I chose to do the front.The process of a pattern goes as following. First step is taking a piece of fabric 60x60 cm and creating a line that leaves a distance of 5cm from the end. This will be the allowing line for middle. Then with a different pen colour, we have to create a vertical line which will be the one that passes over the breast area and will be a guide line for the seams.The next step is placing the one line passing from the middle of the mannequin to the side of the belly.The same is for the back. When having placed the fabric straight, there should be one part on the top and one on the lower part vertically. This is the part where we take those leftovers and pinning them together in a way that they follow the body line.
The next step was preparing the pattern. First we had to take the piece of fabric of the mannequin and
place it on a paper. Then following all the lines with a tracing wheel to make the stamp of the outline of the top on the paper. The next part is to join the lines with each other and the pattern is ready!
After that, I decided to make a new top out of the pattern, so I had to transfer the new pattern to another piece of fabric. I placed the pattern on the fabric and i cut around it by following the edges of the pattern. Then I took the tracing wheel and pressed the lines of the seams. When I finishes, the new top was made. The only thing left, was stitching the seam lines together and putting it together with the back part.
After me and Stellina did that, we decided to make a skirt for the body and painting the top to decorate it.
