5. Realisation
a) Skills and Processes
We have to create a pair of pajama shorts with a matching t-shirt for this
project. We will be given a pattern and instructions for the shorts. We can
make them either elastic or waist drawing and choose our own cotton fabric.
We use techniques to create colourful and suitable pajamas for bedtime.
Outline the skills and processes you may need in order to fulfil the requirements of the design brief.
For my design of my pajamas shorts and shirt I will have to learn new skills and new processes to complete my project. I have learnt how to set up a sewing machine , including bobbin and thread. I have also learnt how to sew straight stitch and zig zag stitch. We have put elastic into the shorts and also sewn the hem. The techniques that will be used on my top include embrodery of flowers. I have learnt more about cotton fabric and how to create colourful pajamas suitable for bedtime. And finally how to effeciently make a pair of pajamas suitable for nightime and sleeping standards.

Some of the limitations in meeting this design brief include :
c) Success and Problems
In one page discuss the successes and
problems experienced throughout the construction of the garment. How were these
problems overcome
Some of the sucesses and problems that occured in my construction of my pajamas shorts and shirt include , When I accidently cut the selected/template fabric for my shorts. This meant that I had to re - cut the faric from my selected template which wasnt a problem. I was worried about how I would be able to cut out another template, but I stressed over nothing. I also had some problems with my designs as I couldn't decide what I was going to do for my pajamas. This was difficult to think of new designs that I would like to use on my top but I soon came up with 3 colourful and interesting designs. Some of the successes include how I was effecient and used my time wisely in class to complete my pajama shorts early in the term. I sewed all of the correct lines and didnt have to unpick any of my sewing at all. I sewed a ribbon on my shorts and completed the final deisgn by about week 3/4, I also finalised the the top of the shorts by threading elastic through neatly and with no twists at all. Another one of my successes included being able to compete deigsn and design breif well so that it was a good guide line for the overall design . I was also able to learn new sewing techniques and how to properly sew pajamas. This is a useful tool for later if I want to continue with sewing. This was one of my successes as it helped me complete the pajamas without confusion. I was also confident that the sewing was correct and that I did the right thing.
