Week 3 (17.10.11)

This week I have continued working on Wishee Washee. There were some problems with the cuffs of the tunic and pants because of the belled shape. The shape of the cuff meant that at the seams the curve was dipping down which then sat uneven once attached to the pants. After trying several trials, I finally found a way to even out the curve so it would stick straight. This had to be done by measureing the centre of the cuff and then making the curved edge the same measurment, which evetually worked. So now I know this for future reference. The rest of the week was just getting my costume to a fitting stage by Friday. I managed to achieve this, which I was happy about. I also helped Ching with dying the fabric this week, which was interesting as I had never done it before. On Friday I researched how to make shoe covors, after finding out a few methods I then tried them for myself. It was not as easy as the methods made it out.
