Last week, we started having our assessment, a test to be basic about it. For Garment Construction, we had to sew a whole skirt with two scoop pockets infront including facing. No waistband this time. The connecting seams would be a combination of open seam and closed seam.
I finished the front part last week. I still had problems with the overlocker especially with the scooped pockets. They weren't that bad just annoying to have the threads running off. Redoing it isn't a good idea since it would mean taking out a few millimeters to put in the overlocked threads and I'm still not good at determining acurately the exact millimeters and thus I take out as much as half a centimeter when I'm re-overlocking.
Will continue tomorrow.
For patternmaking, we started the assessment last week with the Grading of patterns (forgot the exact term). We learned how to increase and decrease the size of a pattern. For the nesting, showing three different pattern sizes based on one size (Size 10, we used the Tailored Straight Skirt and increased the size to Size 12 then down to Size 8. We did the same for the waistband. I got a perfect score for that one. Yippee for me.
On a sad note, I got a lousy mark for the Basic CAD course. I received the Certificates from last year and I'm peeved. How did I get such a low mark???? Tomorrow, I'm going to ask. It probably wouldn't change anything but at least I'd see where I made mistakes.
