I then began helping out Olivia, by helping her to dress her models for her fitting and hand sewing the velvet fabric onto the padded bust. Furthermore, I then helped her to cut out her pocket bags for the trousers, and stitch them in place onto her trousers.

I then continued to help James by helping him to create his toile for his 5th look.

External Show

This week I began helping out James Hall for the External Show. I therefore began by laying his pattern pieces on top of the calico and ensuring that the grain line is parallel to the selvedge. Once layed out correctly, I then had to pin down all of the pattern pieces and use a rotary cutter to cut out the fabric in calico. I then began by sewing his toile together for the 1st of the 3 looks.

Today I helped out Ahn Phan. I began by hand sewing down the inside of the dress to conceal all of the raw edges, by using a blind stitch technique. Moreover, I then began to hand sew on all of the paper clips onto her jacket to add a nice decorative effect. This enabled the jacket to have a unique and eye-catching twist. Furthermore, I then made the labels for her garments, by getting the photographs of her garments and writing a short description on the garment bags portraying how each garment should be looked after and getting the outfits ready for hand in.

I then began toiling how to make a bag out of various string and ropes. After attempting various methods, I came to a conclusion of how to make the final bags, and the methods and processes in which we should use.
