My favourite pocket ^_^

In pattern cutting I learn how to do hip pocket, lined patch pocket and a slash welt pocket.
The easiest one I found was the lined patch pocket follow by the hip pocket ( high-end street) and the hardest one I found was the slash welt pocket ( couture), must say that I am absolutely adored this pocket because it gave an smart elegant look that you can popularly found this pocket in most of tailored suit.

I personally love tailored cut because it look elegant, sophistication and smart. Even though it is very difficult to do but I think it is worth it to challenge your self for a professional standard look.

Here is my slash welt pocket sample.

Pattern Cutting on reduce trousers size

On last Friday it was my pattern cutting lesson, in this session I learnt how to reduce a trousers size, from size 12 to size 10....WOW!
I been given a sheet of instruction on how to enlarge the trousers block but the task was to reduce it so the way to do this was follow the step of instruction but backward.

And here is the result.
As you can see the gray line was the original line and the brown line is the new line showing the trousers block is now reduce.
This is the result after the pattern was been cutten out.
