My Artifact: Dropped Shoulder Seam Sweater

This term, one of my major projects was this sweater. Since this was one of my first clothing pieces I’ve have ever successfully made, it was confusing in some areas. Such as, connecting the sleeves and torso piece together, there is a specific type of way I’m supposed to pin. Finding the correct way was quite difficult. I had many misunderstandings and trials and errors during the making of this sweater. Thankfully, I had the help of my peers in my table group and my teacher who was always willing to help. Before Winter Break, everyone got to share one project to a few classmates. I was able to share my most proud parts and the flaws, though I made a couple of mistakes, most of my peers said they liked my results. I really enjoyed communicating with some classmates I’ve never spoken to before, I would say this was an enjoyable activity.
