DST63504 [Introduction of Pattern Drafting and Garment Making] - Week 9

Hi, it's Jelly again. This week, I only continued on making the shirt. I fixed the pocket and tried to sewed it as nicely as possible since I'm not yet trained to sew that small. And remember that I told you guys I sewed the darts last week right? Turns out I forgot about the back shirt block so I started with those (I was gladly able to secure a nice sewing machine TT). Righter after that, I connected the front pieces and the back piece of the shirt.

(Back piece dart complete, YAY)

The next step for me to do was making the sleeve so that I'll be able to sew the pieces together, completely, as now it still looked like an untidy vest. So I started by I fold the hem of the sleeve and sewed it. Then I top-stitched the sleeve on it's allowance twice, then gathered it so that it would fit the armhole. As I was still new to it, I found it strange that we had to gather it first but Yumna said that we always do that for sleeves.so, gather I did.

Before I tried to sew it onto the shirt tho, I realized I haven't overlock the connected area (I don't really know how to explain but it's the connected area of the shirt pieces on the shoulder). So I overlock it and reattached the sleeve on to the shirt again.

Right after that, I overlock the edges of the sleeve before finally connecting the front and back piece together. It felt nice and it felt right to finally connect the two. After sewing the front piece and the back piece together, I overlock it as well to make it look neater. By completing one side of the sleeve part, I can confidently do the other side. I redid the whole process and in no time, I was complete with the other side as well.

I ended the weekly progress by sewing the collar pieces. I sewed the top and sides of the collar, leaving the bottom part so that I can connect it good with the shirt. I didn't feel like connecting it yet because I'm not sure how to. Like do we insert it an sew it like that or fold it first then insert the shirt then sew it together? Yeah, I might have to ask Yumna or Josephine for that so might as well continue it next week TT. Oh, and I tried to use the button machine for the first time, though it did not end up well.

Next week, we are supposed to start pattern drafting for the final project so see ya then!

DST63504 [Introduction of Pattern Drafting and Garment Making] - Week 1

Hi, I'm Jelita Joice Maharani but most people call me Jelly. I'm currently a first year student of Fashion Design Technology in Taylor's University and this is how my first day (literally today :"D). First week was hectic but fun overall, it drained my energy so quick :D. However, my adrenaline is still pumping today which means I was feeling really cheerful hohoho... Anyways, let me start it with this. I honestly didn't expect anything today, as in that the courses would be somewhat not engaging to us students at all since that was what I was used to back then (okay, maybe it was due to it being a med course lecture but that was what I was used to). OH BUT HOLY MOLY, it was genuinely fun and very engaging today. I met several new friends who has the same passion as me and it is a really exciting thought (because you guys... I honestly can't wait to see y'all's creations TT). Throughout orientation week I haven't met a fellow fashion student so it w...

Week 1 (23/04/25) Hello, my name is Jelita Joice Maharani but you can call me Jelly. Today (23/04/25) was the day when I would have the next course in Fashion Design. To be honest, it was the class I look most forward to the moment I saw my schedule because the class itself is called "Introduction to Fashion Design". I was very excited to be in this class but it's quite baffling how I arrived 5 minutes late.   When I first saw the class, Fashion Studio 4, I was surprised to see that the lecturer was there, even though, it would be an obvious thing since I was late... but good thing it was that it was our first time meeting the lecturer. What a bad first impression it was to not be punctual on the day of the meet but at least he hasn't any attendance yet.   I immediately went in and sat whatever seats were open. My classmates were passing around attendances and so I filled out my name on it before the lecturer started to introduce himself. His name is Mr. Jasmi Rejab b...

DST63504 [Introduction of Pattern Drafting and Garment Making] - Week 5

Hello again, Jelly here. Week 5 was a bit of a fuzz because of another task I had to do. Let's just say that I haven't manage time well yet especially after moving units. God, I felt so tired and my whole body was sore. Sleep is also barely managed but I'm getting the hang of it. Oh, but I finally received the bendy ruler, so I don't have to bring the steel L-ruler because 1. I'm afraid of hitting someone with it (I think I might've at some point), 2. It's really heavy. So I'm really happy about that :D. That was one of the good things I've received this week, haha, so thank you very much for ordering that for us Ms. Melina! Okay so last week I mentioned that we're going to sew a life-size-12 skirt. Well... I think I'm inching towards it. When class started, Ms Melina told us to bring out our mahjong papers... which I had to go back earlier to get it from my apartment because of course I had to miss it in the group chat haha. Not to self, alw...
