DRAWSTRING BAG
Drawstring Bag Construction Process:
the process of sewing for this bag was very straight forward, I faced very few issues with the construction. Between every seam I properly ironed the pieces so that they were easier to pin.
Finalized Drawstring Bag (in use):
I realized later that I took no process pictures of this bag
CELLPHONE BAG
Cellphone Bag Design Process:
ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS:
CELLPHONE BAG DESIGN:
these photos include the orthographic drawings I did for my cellphone but also the entire design process that the cellphone bag went through.
Cellphone Bag Construction Process:
I had initially tried to hand sew the cellphone bag but I quickly became impatient and found that I wasn’t pleased with how the stitches looked so I opted to rip the seam and start over.
This was a test that I did for grommets, I wanted to see what the silver looked like against the red and before this assignment, I had never put a grommet in so I needed to learn before I needed to put them on my real bag.
This was another test, just practice for sewing a button on. I ended up not using a button to keep the bag closed because I couldn’t figure out how to construct the buttonhole well.
Finalized Cellphone Bag:
Conclusion on the process: Overall this project was really fun for me, I greatly enjoyed the obstacles I faced with this project and I loved the process. I learned very much and although the piece is not perfect I look forward to the next project because I know that that project will turn out even better than this one.
