As I only have limited days with my tutor (Dexter), means I need to ensure I think ahead of what I intend to complete for each week so that any questions I may have can be answered.
For this first week I wanted to concentrate on lining my jacket as I felt this was a complicated process and would give me the opportunity to continue final finishings at the beginning of next week if I needed to. However our first day starting the costume store involved Dexter introducing the unit and me preparing the jacket buttonholes. With the rest of my week scheduled as independent study meant I would not have the opportunity for Dexter to sit down and explain the lining to me. For this reason we have arranged a time monday morning where we can discuss the jacket and answer any questions, so then I can use the full week to finish. In the meantime I still have a few things I need to finish on my suit trousers so I will use the rest of this week to complete the list below and prepare anything I need for next monday.
To do week 1
Trousers:
- Move zip further back on facing to give a neater finish when closed.
- Redo top stitching on facing side.
- Zig zag stitch over elastic sections in waistband.
- Machine stitch waistband down and then herringbone overlocked edge.
- Paint shadows into pipes.
Jacket preparation:
- Machine cord on cuff line and unravel that in seam allowance to separate and hand sew down.
- Check I have the lining material and all patterns.
- Write any questions I may have, for example how to over come the back box pleat.
