WEEK 5

JACKETS!

• The jacket was quite challenging as there was a lot of detail but i felt it was right to challenge myself.
• This particular jacket had quilting on both the arms and the yokes, created through dashed pen tool lines that were curved to show the roundness of the arm.
• The zip was created using the brush as the skirt as it was also metal toothed going across one side of the centre front. 
• It was really important to show all panel lines especially the princess panel lines, demonstrating how the garment falls on a figure.

• The split pockets sat either side of the two centre panel lines and it was important to leave enough space otherwise they would not have fit and the whole garment would not look proportionate. 
• A lot of fine top stitching was used over all the seams as the leathery fabric is quite tough and needs to be secure.
• The arm seam can only be seen from the back. 
• Using the rulers (found in 'VIEW') has been very helpful to getting the seams right on both sides and making everything symmetrical, otherwise the result would not look as polished.
