On thursdays of every week at college we have pattern cutting.
During pattern cutting we make blocks, patterns and garments.
On thursday the 6th of October, me and the girls in my group made a skirt from old bed sheets.
We made the blocks and the toile, as you may want to call it, this means a mock up of a garment, so if there are any changes to be made or adjustments you do it to this first then cut out on your proper fabric.
This is where we started, with the skirt blocks we created from cratch, this task was the most difficult in my opinion...
We then drew round these onto paper adding the seam allowance.
When this was complete we pinned it to the material and cut this out too.
This is my final garment, I realise the material isn't great but I thought the colours were very Autumnal.
Front.
The front only has 2 darts to give it a more fitted shape.
It has less than the back so as to not make it too tight and as the front does not need as much fitting.
Left side.
This is where the zip will go, as we have left an over locked edge ready to add it in.
Back.
The back has four darts in so as to make the curve for the bum and make it more fitted to the body.
