Making the most of Intermediate A class

-
Congratulations, now you are in Intermediate A class, and I look forward to seeing you explore new territories in your bid to increase knowledge in garment production.

To maximize the limited time we have for this course, do take note of the following:

1.      Be punctual to class. The start time is 1:00pm and lecture would be commencing at 1:15pm. The 15minutes is to allow for interaction, sharing ideas, putting finishing touch on the previous class work, etc.

2.      Any class section missed would be retaken at the end of the program. As a result, students are advised against missing classes.

The various class sessions are stand alone, and missing a class have little or no effect on the next class session.

3.      Students must ensure they come to class with the tools, and materials they needed to execute class work.

4.      Student are advised to get themselves a sewing machine to enable assignment to be done on time at their homes, we have limited time together, and doing your assignment in class would result in us spending longer time. Also, doing the assignment outside school would force students to think on their own, thus helping to build confidence.

It should be note that students are expected to produce at least a full sized Skirt in every class session. For Mini-me, students can produce more.

5.      Due to space limitation, student are advised to properly keep their belonging (well arranged) when necessary, students property kept in school are at owner’s risk.

6.      All students proceeding to intermediate A should make fee payment either at the office reception or to our bank account.

Pattern Drafting Versus Free Hand Cutting

So free hand cutting and pattern making? Well I have been here and there, but I must confess my preference for pattern making, and I am also a huge fan of standard sizes. I hope that is not too much for a beginner. Ok let me take it one step at a time. Free hand cutting, I believe a large number of us would be aware of it, but we might not know its name. Free hand cutting entails cutting a fabric directly, making use of the wearer‘s measurement. Tailors chalk may or may not be used to make markings on the fabric. The tailor or seamstress is usually very experienced, and over time have become accustomed to what he or she does (in most cases through trial and error).  Pattern drafting involves drawing out how the design would be accomplished on paper; making use of dart manipulation. Tools such as French curves, hip curves, set-square (60 and 45 degree), pencil, eraser, tracing wheel, etc are used. Exact measurement is used in pattern drafting. The drafted pattern is...

I was surprised today when she brought me a micro-mini version of the cut out fabric of what she had been taught in class, asking how it should be sewn. On a second thought, I was excited about the fact that she would be adding her creativity to the work...So I thought. I asked her, she further surprised me by saying, it is actually a macro-mini version, and she would be using it as house clothe😟😞😕 ....house clothe, ke? you mean you would take your time to sew a house clothe? My thoughts were these: she plans not to take the class work serious she would not put effort to ensure a beautiful result, by ironing or evening using interfacing. When I inquired, she then goes on to explain how she is better than those who made their class deliverable for some other person. Then I realized her issue, as I remembered a student who once said they were being thought how to sew vintage clothes. Consideration has been put into the curriculum we have come up with. We have had t...
