Day Three

I don't know where the day has gone feels like an hour ago i was there. Today i did quite a few fixtures and alterations.
I had to first finish stitching the lining to the skirt, then i was shown how to put eyelets in garments for things like corsets, this was very handy to know but very fiddly after i had done that i helped alter a size 12 dress to make it a size 10. To do this i had to tack stitch along some pins placed to the needed size and undo the lining from the dress a little bit so that it could be taken in, once that was done i did a few bead stitching as some were coming off the dress so had to make sure that it was all secure.
Mojgan then showed me how to take the dress in and it was actually really simple and i had to remember to cut off the excess, at that point it got busy so had to help downstairs in the shop and help put dresses back on on the racks or mannequins after the customers were done.
I made two calico bodices which will be use for a fitting with two different customers, i was also given a dress which i had to change the straps and make them shorter plus adding material flowers to the straps these were placed one inch away from each other on both straps. I ended the day with overlocking the chiffon overcoat which hopefully i'll finish tomorrow with ribbon.

This placement is really enjoyable and i feel i am learning alot, Mojgan has even said that i might be able to get more experience on days when i don't have uni=]
