Anne Rutter Jacket project

Jacket Project:

 

 

Inspiration jacket :

 

The first step was to place the pattern onto the fabric so that I could begin my process of creating my creative jacket.

 

I then started to assemble the main bodice. had changed the pattern as I manipulated the hemline at the front and created a elongated panel which would overlay. This way the jacket would look similar to a bouble breasted jacket because I created the pattern of a double breated front but minimized the overlay so it looks more feminine and extended the jacket front for a fresh look. I also emphazised the silhouette of the jacket by manipulating the pattern and adding additional triangles to the side seam area which made the jacket stand away more from the body slightly and  emphasizing the waist.

 

 

 

I then also cut out the collar pieces, first assembling the top and then the bottom collar pieces, and assembled the collar and added it to the jacket stitching it in using a 2.0 stitch. The next step was to add the front collar panels and then connect both collar pieces to finish this part.

 

I then cut the sleves from fabric and assembled both sleeves. I decided to add a different fabric combining wool and silk jaquard so that the cotton was placed under the arm for additional  comfortable use.

Once I assembled the individual sleeves, I gathered them the top and set in the sleeve into the bodice.

Finally I added button holes and attached two gold buttons. I then started to embellish the jacket. I created a fabric manipulation at the back of the jacket and then attached applice detail I had previously stitched onto organza fabric so that i would be able to attach it to the jacket with more ease and controle .

I felt like this experience was very helpful to further my illustrator skill set as I came into the class not knowing how to use illustrator accept for creating straight lines. Hence I am thrilled to now be able to create flats, figures etc. to generate  presentations such as this within the future. Regarding any challenges, my main issue, that I ran into, was simply having to go through the learning process of first being rather unfamiliarized with this adobe software and hence having to learn how to acquire new skill sets within the program.  The most challenging to create I feel were the flats, however I feel as if I tackled the challenge and am happy to have gone through it as it ended up being very fun to learn  new skills and be able to actually utilize these within illustrator on a daily basis.
