Fall 2011 | Project 1 - T Shirt

The T Shirt Project is the first project in Apparel 1. Each student was asked to design a T Shirt and they were required to create a pattern, construct, and embellish this garment. They each began by tracing a pattern block of a basic T Shirt then they created patterns with seam allowance and industry standard labeling. The next step was to layout the fabric and pin each pattern piece down securely. They proceeded to cut each piece carefully and set them aside for sewing. The students used a basic straight stitch, an overlock or serger, and coverstitch machine for this project. They practiced each seam on samples before sewing the actual garment. The most challenging part would have to be sewing the collar since there is three layers of fabric to control under the machine at one time. The embellishments range from fabric paints, lace applique, beading and fabric weaving. Please enjoy viewing the hard work that went into each T Shirt. You can click on each image for a larger view. I am so proud of this group and I can't wait to see how they do on the next project.
