About the final project for: Pattern-Making and Sewing of Tailor-Made Skirts

Cut and tailoring: skirt

“The objective of this course was for you to be able to design, pattern and make your own design by applying everything you learned in the lessons. I am sure you have succeeded and this will be the first of many garments that you will make in the future. After the final tips in the video lesson, we are going to review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you showed me a picture of each phase and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Design and fabric Applying what we have seen about transformations in Unit 3, it is time to make a sketch or drawing of the garment. I have created a mood board to collect references and inspiration and I have started to draw. In this preparation process I have also selected the fabric for my garment.

Pattern Next, it is time to pattern the design that we have created starting from the base skirt.
Cut After patterning, I have extracted the pieces of the pattern and traced some pieces for the final finishes. Also, I have prepared the main fabric and lining, and cut all the pieces. .
Manufacture and finishes Finally, I have joined the pieces to assemble the skirt. In addition, I have sewn the zipper and added some hand finishes to the garment to personalize it.
Final result And that's how my garment has been! If you have any questions throughout the development of the project, remember that we saw how to do it step by step in Unit 4 of the course and, of course, ask any questions in the forum.
Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your garment and the steps that have led you to it. I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Anyway, I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It is sure to be very enriching for everyone! Thank you! ”

“Final project I hope you liked the course as much as I teach you my passion for this job. I created this course thinking of all levels so that by practicing you get to all the designs in mind. I would like you to be original and creative when uploading your final project. I want to know your own vision of fashion and what are you capable of doing with a needle and thread. Design, pattern making and tailoring are not a linear process. All three support each other to create something new. When designing the skirt for the final project, I first made boards between the cuts. I gave the 20 cm de...”

Dressmaker, Pattern Maker, and Fashion Designer

Although she's trained in editorial and set design, Alicia Cao's passion for dressmaking led her to win the debut season of Maestros de la Costura, which propelled her into a professional career in fashion where she currently works as a designer, pattern maker, and product developer.

Since then, she has created a collection for El Corte Inglés and opened her own tailor-made clothing workshop where she designs dresses for weddings and events. She has also experimented with new technology like laser cutting to give seemingly useless materials, like plastic bottles, a second life by incorporating them into her clothing using traditional artisan methods to create highly artistic and ethical designs with unique style.
