Necklaces and Garments: Continuing

The next day of patterning..

-six
I went back to my notes I had written on my toile and discussed them with my tutor. We decided that I was going to change the how I was going to manufacture my jacket as originally I was going to make an under coat and the a top section to sit over the shoulders, however I decided I didn't want to it to look like I had an over piece over my jacket, therefore I changed my pattern by slicing along where I wanted my seam to be on the front and back.

-Seven
we also decided to make the front edges of the jacket straight and not have a stepped edge, to do this I worked with my toile and the mannequin and adjusted where I wanted the front of my jacket to come to on the mannequin bring it 2cm in at the top and 1.5cm in at the bottom

-eight
Me and my tutor also notice that I hadn't attached the elbow patch correctly to the sleeve as the seam on the elbow had to be towards the back not the side, therefore I had to remember to attach it correctly when it came to manufacturing the real deal.

-nine

the making of the material

The next step was to make the tape material, to create it I stuck two peices of tape together on the sticky sides and repeated this untill I had to right size for the pattern, I then sewed all the peices together with a straight stitch and the repeated this method so I cut x2

-ten

I started with cutting the elbow pieces out and sewing them together and topstitching along the seam as I couldn't press the seam open on the back therefore I had to find away to lesson the bulk and topstitching it was the best option

Cutting triangles into the seams made it more flexible

-eleven

I also repeated the same technique for the lower sleeve

-twelve

The next step was to attach the lower sleeve to the elbow patches making sure all notches are matched up and the elbow seam is more towards the back and putting right sides together.
