Grace Anderson - Week 5

 This week, I am starting on my second ensemble for my capstone collection. I am planning on creating an asymmetrical suit jacket with a matching asymmetrical skirt. I hope to start on my pattern this week, as well as purchase the rest of my fabric and notions. I have not made my final decision as to what method I will use to finish the seams or which closures I will use, but hope to have those decisions finalized by the end of the week. I am also working on a cape and dress project that will be used in my capstone collection. I am embossing my emblem into velvet and will make it into a cape.

 Week 4

This week I finished my ensemble one! I also finished my sustainable project (which I posted about last week) and will use that for ensemble two in my collection!  Above I put together a college of my final ensemble. I ended up doing a double top stitch around the armholes, neck hole, and leg holes to add more visual appeal. I also finished my plaid corset belt that is fully lined! I want to switch out the black lacing for red lacing. I also, for the first time ever, installed an inviable zipper correctly! I included a picture of my in the outfit as well to show off the fact that this outfit looks MUCH better on a person than the form.

 

I also started my third ensemble which is for the innovative studies class. I went through two mock ups, the first was gathered top with a bubble skirt but I didn't like the way the mock up looked. I landed on the design with the orange highlighter around it. I drafted two circle skirts. The liner skirt is a 1/4 circle skirt and the top layer is a full circle skirt that is 6 inches longer than the liner. I love how the mock up turned out!

Grace Anderson - Week 4

 This week, I finished my first ensemble for my capstone collection. It is a knit velvet cloak with a red velvet-lined hood and red velvet-lined bishop sleeves. I also completed my dress made of a men's suit jacket, but I do not think I will be putting it into my capstone collection. I am beginning to think about my second ensemble as well as a project for another class that I hope to use in my capstone.   

Grace Anderson - Week 3

 This week, I am focused on creating the first and second ensembles of my collection. So far, I have completed the pattern and mockup for my hooded cloak and am working on an asymmetrical dress for a sustainable class that I hope to use in my collection as well. I hope to have both of these completed by the end of the week. I also put up my working board in the classroom and am excited to continue working on my capstone collection. 

 

Reese Westmaas- Week 4

 I have been working on reworking a mens suit for my sustainability course. I started off my draping the fabric after I seam ripped it all and sewed together a garment by mindlessly piecing it together. I was extremely unhappy with the outcome and felt embarrassed. I have been working on tearing it apart again and serging each piece then sewing them all together.  I then draped that large piece onto the dress form and have shaped it to be a mini dress. I want the back to have a clasp closure and then make a belt cinch in the waist more. I also will add spaghetti straps.

I worked on creating a half mockup of my dress to understand and makeup sure the overlap on the front closure was correct. I also learned I needed to adjust the  width of the armhole. I then cut out my pattern pieces and began putting together the dress. I sewed the lining and facing together first and then sewed the pockets into the front and back pieces. I finished the side and shoulder seams. Then I carefully sewed the lining and fabric together. After I clipped, trimmed, and graded the neckline extensively. Next I sewed the front closure placket down and began hand sewing the magnetic clasps on. I serged on the sleeves and finished them with a rolled hem to stop the crochet from unraveling. Finally I added beaded details in the corner for a fidget. I plan to add fabric bug buttons overtop the magnetic clasp thread on the CF.

 WEEK 3

This week I made and finished my post consumers goods project. In this project I took apart a large suit that I got from a thrift store and draped it into a "reimagined" ensemble. I made sure to make this garment into a piece that will also work for my collection. This is the first piece to be finished for my collection! 

I also have been working on my "ensemble  one" for the capstone course. This ensemble will technically be my second full ensemble. I did some hand beading and embroidery on the jumpsuit top to elevate the design into something much more couture. I also drafted the corset belt that will go over top of the oversized jumpsuit to make a more appealing silhouette. Now I have to finish the belt before this upcoming Tuesday.
