  WEEK 10

This week marks an exciting new chapter in my sewing journey as I completed and submitted the tailored skirt and basic shirt projects. With those milestones behind me, it was time to focus on my next assignment: the White Shirt Collection. With guidance from my lectures, I began laying the foundation for what promises to be a creative and challenging endeavor.

The Shirt Collection assignment is an opportunity to explore design and craftsmanship on a deeper level. Thanks to Ms. Melina’s guidance, I was able to begin translating my ideas into reality. The designs I sketched in Mr. JR’s class served as a starting point, and with Ms. Melina’s support, I started working on the drafting process.

Unlike previous projects, this assignment feels more personal and artistic. It’s not just about technical skills but also about expressing creativity and individuality through design. This added layer of complexity has made me even more determined to get things right.

One of the main reasons for the lack of significant progress this week was my persistence in perfecting the drafting process. I found myself rechecking measurements, refining lines, and second-guessing details to ensure everything aligned with my vision. While this meticulous approach slowed me down, I believe it’s essential to set a strong foundation for the final garments.

Striving for perfection comes with its challenges, though. It’s easy to get caught up in minor details and lose sight of the bigger picture. This week taught me the importance of balancing perfectionism with progress—a lesson I will try to carry forward as I continue working on The Shirt Collection.
