Intern for third Years Daily Account

Today I started to begin collaborating with my third year student Andrie. I began to explore her concept and ideologies of her collection which has been inspired and enthused by the Victorian Era. Today I was given a line up and told to replicate the trouser design in calico. I therefore had to pin down the pattern pieces onto the calico, ensuring that the selvedges are together and that the grain line is equidistant to the way in which I layed the pattern onto the calico. I ensured this by measuring the grain line was straight with a tape measure. Afterwards, I then had to make the shorts toile. This was interesting to make as I feel that the seam lines of the shorts are symbolic to the theme.
