-Week 5-

Today, Mr, Riza guided us to draw the final pattern in Mahjong Paper. We have to add seam allowances in our final pattern before we cut it out. Then we have to trace out the final pattern in Calico fabric. After that, we pin the final pattern on Calico fabric and cut it out. And also, don't forget to cut a little mark on the fabrics for some important points, such as armhole point, dart line, etc.

-Week 6-

Mr. Riza shows us the ways to sew a top and attaches the shirt collar on today's tutorial. For the top, we have to sew all the darts first, then sew the side seam, shoulder seam and sleeve side seam. Then, attach the sleeves to the bodice's armhole. Make sure you iron all the seam to make it looks neatly and nice. For the collar, we have to cut the interfacing and iron it on the collar fabrics. After that, we can start sewing the collar flap and collar stand. The last step is to attach the shirt collar to the top's neckline. And also, sew the sleeve and top's bottom seam by using invisible stitch.
