Over the weekend we are to prepare the hem of the jacket and attach the side and shoulder seams, which is very exciting – I really enjoy seeing a garment properly come together. With tailoring, for the ease of working on small areas on great detail, much of the work is done with each of the pieces of a garment separate from the rest, only putting them together when everything that can be done to that piece has been done. This makes it easier to work on the more fiddly bits, keeping the pieces flatter for longer, and means that once you have done all the preparation work, it doesn’t take too long to put the whole thing together into a recognisable assembly. The jacket in particular has been a good deal of working on the separate areas before adding them to whole.
For next week, I need to finish my blog entries, write an evaluation of the whole project and make sure my trousers and waistcoat are completely finished. The jacket, as agreed in the learning agreement, will not have to be finished. After hand in, we will carry on work on it so that we can ship them off to ArtsEd.
