UT Apparel I Student Projects: Fall 2012

The third project in Apparel I is the vest. This project involves more advanced seams and seam finishes and uses woven fabrics. Some students really pushed their design further and added linings and one student even added set in sleeves and four pockets! They all began by tracing blocks and then creating their own patterns with seam allowance and pattern labeling. The next step involved the fabric layout which can be tricky for one sided or pile fabrics. They cut out the patterns pieces, practiced the seams on samples, and then proceeded to sew the garment. This was a fun project and as you can see from the photos below the students were very creative. There are additions such as fur, beading, studs, zippers, and even dinosaurs! Please view the designs below and stay tuned for the final project: Jeans.
