Project 4: Button Up Shirt

The students have finished their final projects: shirts that include a collar, buttonholes & buttons, cuffs and set-in sleeves. This was the most challenging project for them this semester, especially the set-in sleeves, which the students showed great determination in conquering (which they all did well). I also like the creative adaptability I saw in mastering button holes. The addition of a surface decoration to the finished shirt also helped make each one unique. Their creativity and skills really shine in this project.

The professionalism I saw from this class all semester was very impressive - the attendance and preparation were exceptional, they had a real willingness to learn, and I was pleased to see all of the students helping each other out in so many ways. This was a strong start for all of you, well done!

Project 3: Knit Pant With Elastic Waist

Hi, and welcome to the first post of our Apparel I students' work. We're now 3/4 of the way done with projects, with our final shirt project underway now. Better late than never starting this blog, and this was a good place to start, as I was extremely pleased with all of the students' work on this project. Everybody worked hard, got their projects done in plenty of time, and the sewing skills have greatly improved. Here are the students' projects; you can click on each picture for a slightly larger version:
