I keep using the phrase, 'Keep Calm and Carry On' when it comes to my college course at the moment but I honestly have to say it is the most fitting. Not because it has anything to do with being British, purely because the best thing to do at a time this is to just breath, take a step back, calm down and carry on! I've learnt this probably more than anyone over the past few weeks. Yes, I admit I have needed a day or two breathing space to calm down as I was beginning to become very unwell again. BUT! We're back on track and I will NOT be beaten.
So, a belated blog for Monday!
Pattern Cutting catch up.... My Shirt.
Again, with this I could physically kick myself as I have actually enjoyed doing it, yes its stressful but so are most things we do in life! Due to time I am only making samples for my shirt i.e the cuff, sleeve, pocket and collar. I've really enjoyed piecing it together I must say, feel like I've let the team down though once again after not going in yesterday and today but again, you yourself is the only person that can read your body and mine was telling me if I didn't calm down I'd never get to the finish line.
Monday, the collar wasn't too difficult because I had already started it so the collar stand was ready and waiting.
All I had to do was attach the colour pieces either side of the stand, flipping the top of one side over so that it's held inwards with a 1.5cm seam allowance and then continued on to sew a 1cm seam right around the bottom edge of the colour.
Flip the collar so the stand is over the top and the collar is tucked neatly underneath. Neaten any untidy edges and you're done!
The Sleeve is a work in progress to be continued....
Attaching the Sleeve to the Shirt.
