Kimono:
- I started off with a basic dress block.
- I then traced around a sleeve block too.
- I then adapted my pattern by slashing and spreading both the dress block and sleeve block.
- I then traced around these new patterns and added 1.5cm Seam Allowance.
- I placed my pattern pieces on fabric (back piece was cut on fold) and cut out.
- I then machine stitched the shoulder seams together first and pinned in the sleeve.
- I machine stitched the sleeve in the armhole. I then turned the garment inside out and sewed the sleeve and side seam. I then repeated this on the other side.
Design detail on kimono:
- Firstly, I sampled my design with rope to create solid lines as I want the design to stand out on the catwalk.
- Secondly, I hand painted the design I wanted on the back of the kimono with fabric paint but due to the nap of the velvet the paint didn't settle or sit comfortably on the garment.
- I then created a stencil on which I still need to sample spray painting on the velvet.
- If this doesn't work I will appliqué my design on the kimono.
