* Traced around the front and back trouser pattern, which i then straightened off and then added a 1 cm to the bottom of the front and back trouser pattern. I then cut out the new trouser pattern i adjusted.
*Next i traced around the trouser pocket patterns, which i then adjusted slightly by adding about 1cm seam allowance along the curved line of the trouser pocket. I then traced and the new pocket pattern and then cut it out.
*Next i pinned the front and back trousers pattern onto the folded fabric and then cut out two pieces for the front and two pieces for the back of the trousers. I pinned down the pattern piece for the pockets onto the fabric and cut out four pieces to make two pockets for the trousers.

*Added a 1cm seam allowance to the bottom of the front and back pattern.
*Pinned front and back coat pattern to the folded wool fabric and pinned down the collar pattern onto the wool as well. I then cut around the pattern carefully and accurately.
*Next i pinned down the front and back coat pattern onto the floral printed lining for the coat. I added a 2cm seam allowance onto the lining before i cut it out. I then pinned down the pockets onto the floral lining and cut out 4 pieces for the two pockets.
*I traced around a body suit up to the waistline for the front and back of the bodysuit. I then added a 1cm seam allowance all the way round as this would be a pattern for high-waisted pants.
*Last of all i sewed finished lining for the inside neck and wrist on the jumpers to create a professionally finish, neatly hand sewed the lining on.
This is the coat pattern pieces that were pinned onto the wool fabric.
This is what the wool coat pieces looked like after i had cut them out.
These are the coat lining pieces i cut out and the pockets i cut out as well.
Here you can see the added 2cm seam allowance i added onto the lining on the coat.
Above shows all the pieces i cut out on top of each for the lining of the coat.
These three pictures below are of the three patterns for the collar of the coat i cut out.

*Went into town for my third year to look for suit covers for her.
*Sewed buttons onto a chiffon shirt and 3 pairs of trousers.
What I've learnt
During the three weeks of being an assistant i quite enjoyed it as it was straight forward even though you were on your feet all day sewing, pattern cutting or running errands. I felt it that you had to be quite fast past in order to complete tasks you were given. By having this experience of being an assistant helped me to understand the sort of things involved with it as well as feeling more confident in pattern cutting with new materials i'm not familiar with. I also feel confident being able to use a pattern master properly to adjust measurement that are on angles on patterns.
