Capped sleeve cropped top final

 On the final cropped top I created a pattern which I measured out for the sized of an average size 10 which was the size of the mannequin.  The sizes were: 

36" bust

14" length of top

I added 12 hem/seam allowance and cut out the pattern using pattern cutting paper.


We pinned the pattern paper first and then cut out the material.  Then we pinned the hems ready to sew on the sewing machine which was a little more challenging with the sequinned material. 







I then made sure the back and front lined up correctly and then I needed to sew the seams so I did this inside out so that the seam would not show on the finished piece. 




I pinned the seam and left the arm holes and matched up the length on each side. 









I completed all of the hems and seams and on this design I had two pieces for the back as I am going to add buttons to bring these together.  I completed all the final seams and made sure that everything was accurate and ready for the model or mannequin for final showcase of the work 

















I am happy with the final outcome and I do think that this has been a good learning experience using sequins and stretch fabric.  I also enjoyed the pattern cutting and now I know better how to use the pattern cutting paper.

  Are the initial ideas and development clear? Was the research completed and was it clearly linked to the advert? Was the process shown with commentary about tools? Was the final outcome clear?  Could there be any improvements?

Reflection for Art Portfolio two

Image
Overall in Art Portfolio Two, I learned different methods of research such as secondary and primary research, it helped me to get inspiration and develop ideas to improve the outcomes. Also, it helped me have a better understanding of the fashion market and the ideal customer needs. I think the secondary and primary research skills and techniques have really helped me this term to improve my overall portfolio quality. For example, walking around the campus or the local area allowed me to get inspiration and develop ideas by looking at shapes, colour, and the natural environment around me. Also, I visited the fabric shop in person which allowed me to have a better understanding of how different fabrics work and what qualities they have.  In this term, whilst doing secondary research for fashion trends and artist research, I took more care in learning new information which helped me to develop my work. Whereas last term I found it harder to engage with the research and I got more out of

Photoshop Process of my Portfolio

Image
 I began to create my portfolio, so I had my final designs and I knew how I wanted my Space Rangers collection to look.   I began by opening Photoshop and creating a blank A3 sized canvas with 300 resolution.  I did this just be clicking on File - New - Print  and then A3.   I then wanted to add my background which was a Space image I got from unsplash.  So I clicked on File - Open and then I chose the jpg image I had on my desktop.  I then clicked on Image - Image Rotation and 90 degrees counter clockwise as I needed the image to be portraits and I wanted the composition of the planets to compliment my design.  I then clicked on Select All, Then copy and then I clicked back onto my blank canvas and clicked on past. I used the move tool and clicked onto the transform controls and dragged the background over the canvas to create my portfolio backdrop. I then added the logo which we copied and pasted from my previous portfolio for consistency.  I then added the title of my collection
