Spring 2015 | Project 3 - Kimono

The last project of this semester is the Kimono. The students have chosen a woven fabric that is more challenging than any we have used this whole semester. Then they altered their patterns to their original design idea based on their fashion illustration. Some of them experienced how slippery fabrics such as a chiffon or rayon can be when laying out the fabric for cutting. Overall, the students did an excellent job and I am so proud of them. This class of students has really pushed themselves to more than the minimum requirements and you can see that in their choices of textiles and deign details. I hope they will all continue to sew in the future. Please enjoy their hard work. You can click on the image for a larger view. Have a great summer break!

Spring 2015 | Project 2 - Jeans

Jeans are difficult to pattern, alter to fit, and even more challenging to sew. Looking at these student's jeans project you would never have guessed that they struggled at all! I am so impressed with this semester of Apparel I students and their determination. They have worked so hard and many of them have used the seam ripper to perfect their seams and it shows. Click on the photos to see a larger view of the jeans. Enjoy viewing the hard work that went into this project. If you are free this Thursday, join us at the Frank Erwin Center for the Fusion UT Fashion Show. These jeans will be in the exhibit room at 5:30pm. You can get more information at http://www.universityfashiongroup.com
Hope to see you there!
