Wee three- Day 11

Day eleven- Thursday 10^th May

10am-6pm

Today the client that we measured last week was coming round for a fitting, and so the toile had to be sew-together. The first task that I did today was to cut out the pattern pieces in calico for the menswear jacket. Once the all the pieces were cut out, I pressed and checked they were all matching up. Next I sew the garment up, pinning sleeves to the armholes by placing the jacket on to the stand and pinning on alternate sides up the arm hole.

Just as I finished sewing the sleeves on the client came in. we checked measurements and how it fitted and also made further alterations on the toile which will be transferred to the pattern. Further sections of fabric were made, and a date was set for fabric shopping; Friday 18^th May. The client paid a deposit, and was told to next come in next week for another fitting.

For the rest of the day I worked on a pair of red trousers. I hand-sew waistband down the same way I did on the black pair, hand-sewing down in various places. Next I hand-sew the button to the front of the waistband, sew and cut out and sew the tabs for the button hole, turned it through and pressed down. The next step was to top stitch the tab to the waistband. For the last task of the day I hand-sew claps on the inside of the waistband.

we are not in tomorrow, as Sunny is going to a photo-shot.
