I feel confident on where all of these should be placed on a garment, i also feel confident on how to actually insert a zip or how to add fullness and flare.
I enjoyed taking pictures of my own garments showing where zips, seams, darts and facings where found. This gave me a better understanding before i starting to build up the development folder.
The development folder has helped me tremendously as i can always look back onto it if i forget something or to show me how something is done to keep refreshing my memory this will then make me remember on how to do something without having to ask for help each time. The folder also helped me with the project Creative Design Practices due to designing my final collection, as it gave me an understanding of which dart, seam etc would work best for each garment. I will defiantly use this folder for the next two years at uni and i will also use it in the future in the fashion industry.
After choosing which garment to make from my eight designs i chose to have armhole seams, puffball sleeves, an invisible zip down the centre back, gathering, a large bow and a neck facing.

I was pleased with how my garment turned out apart from the zip at the back as i found the time very consuming, i did not have enough time to unpick it and redo it.
The hardest part of this project was having to redo one of the sleeves three times as It was very repetitive unpicking it and redoing it. I think it is also best to unpick a minor fault and redo it so it is perfect as the final result is a strong achievement and needs to be presentable.
I feel this project has giving me a lot of new skills such as, pattern cutting, block making, dart manipulation, different types of zips, fullness and fare and actually putting a garment together.
If i were to do this module again i would ask for more time sewing as i feel that to make the garment in one day was very consuming as we had to finish it in our own time. I would also change my pattern and make a completely different design.
Overall this has been a module that i have learnt the most from and will learn my new skills in the future, i have thoroughly enjoyed it.
