Second Garment Construction Lesson...

I very much enjoyed today - a long day of concentrating which gets very tiring but it's rewarding when you can recognise what you've achieved in one day. We used the paper bodice pattern we made in our Pattern Cutting lesson and cut out the bodice piece's in calico. After being shown step by step how to put the separate piece's together correctly, we completed a basic bodice with sleeves. It was very satisfying when it went right and a bit frustrating when it went wrong (especially when I had a very long run of stitching to un-pick) but at least we could learn from our mistakes. I was also very happy to discover I was getting on a lot better with my currently allocated sewing machine and the overlocker! :-)
