Finished work in construction -
Shirt:

The shirt was final garment to make and the most difficult, as we had to both complete the pattern and make it independently, it was hard work but it was good to see how much I was able to do, I was pleased with the outcome and feel much more confident after this task!

Shorts:

With the shorts I felt it was a shame to make them in calico and whish we had made them in denim.
I learnt how to apply another zip but this time it was a different type, I can see my improvement in each garment I make which gives me great pleasure, I really enjoyed making the shorts and I feel this is down to my progression and think the more I enhance my skills the more I enjoy construction, I really took my time and wanted to reach perfection with the shorts, ok so it wasn’t perfection, but I feel it was close, close enough anyway :D!

Skirt:

The skirt was the second completed garment, and I found it much easier to follow the steps and could feel myself developing to a great extent, it was the first time I had done a zip and found this difficult but great to learn, I enjoyed using a real fabric as we had only ever sewn onto calico before. Again I was pleased with the result and felt i had achieved a lot.

Bodice -

The bodice was the first garment we made so naturally I found it the hardest, I struggled a lot and found myself redoing parts over 5 times, yes this was extremely annoying, I think I perhaps may have been near tears, sounds silly, but it can be so frustrating! But anyway eventually I finished and I was pleased with the outcome for a first construction of clothing!
