1. Introduction: Welcome to module three. In this module, we're going
to get more creative. You're going to learn about what panels and how to construct
panel from scratch. You will also learn
how to create a curved seen as
part of a pilot. And I've also put together some instructions for
creating a corner seen. With all this knowledge, you'll be able to create a
variety of designs using a straight line panels. You will use a
template which have attached with this module
to help you along the way. So without further ado, let's get ready and
let's delve into it.
2. What is a panel: First of all, do you
know what is the panel? Panel is a section of
a piece of clothing. Imagine that you have a
child that's quite plain. You'd have a front and a
back and perhaps leads. But what if the
front or the back was sectioned into
smaller pieces? Those smaller pieces that make
up the front or the back. This is what we're doing today. When this module,
you are getting a template of a tunic
of meaning templates. So go ahead and print it out. You can either print
it out a few times to create variety of panels, or you could print
out ones and then trace it on paper as you go, depending on how
many samples insight to do, It's totally up to you.
3. Create simple panels: The first thing we're
going to do is only going to create a simple way. To do that. I'm just
going to grab my template and mark the middle of the hand, the middle of the neck line. I'm also going to draw
a line between the two. I know life is also known
as a design that has sectioned my left side and
right side, all tunic. And it's a good idea to also write down what
patentees that is, because suddenly it's not
just a chimney grant. It's a right side and
left On that front. Something that will get
us to that green line, as we have learned previously, is an important
thing to do when it comes to putting
things in heartbreak. So make sure you've got
green line on either side. Another thing we need to
do before we cut things out is to add notches. Markers that let us know how we are going to stage
the two panels together. They lead to mine. I'm going to make a long
panel that I have created. Let's not forget what we
did last week together seems seam allowance
that we need to do, need to add seam allowance
to section that you have incentive that I'm going to work one centimeter
seam allowances this week. But you're welcome
to continue working 1.5 centimeters seam allowance. Question just going to be
finishing the seam allowances. It's just a matcher. The outside and on
the outside it looks like and getting used to working with easy when you use a Python master to
create a seam allowance. But you don't have
that perfectly fine. I've been using my password
because at this point I and then once we have
added our seam allowance, we need to cut our pizzas
and cutting fabric. I suggest when you start
working with your panels to first play around with the patterns and your
ideas and sharing. Donate to wrong. It is more systematic way of
doing things and it will get you into the mode of creating first and then
sowing and LinkedIn. And suddenly you going to have
a lot of samples at once. So it's a good way to do. It is up to you just to advise. It's how I tend to work and I think it's an
easy way to do it. That way. You don't just
need to do vertical lines. You could also do
horizontal lines. You can add a marking
underneath the arm, for example, on either side, under the left-hand
column, Right Mom. Same distance. And then use the same method where you
would connect to the two. You're going to add my kids. Going to add your grain lot on both pieces and
in both cases. And also you're going to
add seam allowance as well.
4. Diagonal design lines and panels: Another thing you
can do with panels, there's create patterns
or two diagonal. Let's make one from
the neck to the ham. So we're going to
connect our markings. You use the nine are
not choose my color, making sure we know what's away. And then another thing
that you can do is to when you're adding
your seam allowances is I just seam allowances. Wave created the design line, but also you could either
add a seam allowance to the prompt by folded my part. I could actually have yet panel create and
right in the middle. But I can also cut it off. Which means I can just use the pattern that
don't need to cut. Three piece is separately, but I could use
my harp patch and light half section
for the diagonals, I get two patterns. The pattern that has
gone the center line, which now is the bit
that would cut off. We could fold to the
public underneath. So we cutting the part. And you can see here
that I have created the marking of two arrows
connecting with another nine. And that is a sign. If you start using patterns
or you may have come across. If you have tried and
use flattens before, it's signifies cutting
thing on found. So this is what you can
do with your own pattern. We can get two panels from our sides and then cut just one for the
middle or catch it. And then we'll move out. We can unfold the fabric
and we're going to have the full front piece.
5. Multiple design lines: Now we have so far worked with creating two panels
with a single designer line. What if we made so exciting? So what we can do
now is to separate our chin and neck into three
pieces or three panels. Use it to design lines. Or it can be horizontal lines. And then following
the same principle, adding notches and adding
green lines and adding.
6. Notches explained: Something you will
notice though, is if you have to
design lines on wall, using the same notches
doesn't make much sense. Because you might get confused. If all your notches
are the same, then it will be confusing. So we're now going to
talk about in Morton's of notches and how you can
play around with notches. Because there are different
ways in which you can mark your design lines and instinctive way.
So they don't get. You could do this by
introducing color. Could do this by
introducing shapes. Oh, he could do this
by introducing. The first thing that I'm going to show you is
to create notches, different for different panels. These inhaler, a few
different colors of my aunts like I've done here. And you could create notches
were due for one design, might want to use one color
for the next design line, you can use another
color, and so on. So now you know which notch girls walk
based on the color. That's not your thing. Another thing that you can do is to actually normally
are not cheap. So it could be that the
first design I need create when you put your
normal no cheese just wanted, wanted to mine knowledge. You could also add a
number right next to the light on either side
of the design line. And you can do that all notches. So when you create
the leg design line, then you could use the number two instead of one, and so on. So again, even though using the same kind
of notches numbering, show you which goes with which because if you
have quite a lot panels, you will find they can get
it to be confusing if you're not really distinctive in mind. Another thing you can do, which I did file a law actually, is to create different
kinds of notches. For example, for
one of the panels, you can have a single notch. For one of the panels, you can add a dab. On other panel, you can
have a trip or notch. Sometimes they use
a little waves, single, double, triple, etc. Sometimes they use,
they cannot choose. Making sure that the
notches look quite different from one
design line to the next. So again, it's quite obvious
one goes with a lot, so we're not actually
using or not using number. So you could use
either one of these related and they
all will give you really good results and we'll keep you away from
being confused.
7. Mix it up: Now that you know how
to play with vertical, horizontal and diagonal design
lines on those notches, seam allowances,
catching things on both, you could start creating
your own variations of more complex panels
using the template. You could start with just making £2 I chat with a
single design line. Then try a couple than three
and build on your progress. Is really good fun
to mix things. If you have a variety of
small pieces of cotton, the template is quite small. You may need to actually
use your scraps to create a really cool panels. That's what I did. And it worked quite well. Used a one-point sleep from
a shirt, shorts leave. I didn't know what to do it and actually incorporate
in my sample. So the bottom of the snake, which had a nice finish, actually became the bottom. Well, the ham of my tunic. And that worked really nicely. It's something you might
want to play around with and see where
creativity takes.
8. How to create curved panels: Now that you know how
to create complex, we're going to take up a notch
as creating curved lines. A little bit more challenging, but I have every confidence
that you can do it. I'm a little practice,
there'll be perfect. We want you to do is take our template and fold it
along the center line. Then we're going to create a mocking from him up
along the center front. Higher up, about seven
centimeters would be good. Just tower. Then you could
make a marking on the side. So about three centimeters
would be good. Again, they have
to be different. So it's up to you. You can play around with how
far up you go from the hand, both on the center, front and the side. But make sure that they don't
differ too much though. The coupled centimeter difference
to start with is good. We want just a slide
to just start with an. And. Then if you have called
pattern monster is very easy to just connect to by using the curve
on your pattern. Otherwise, you
could draw curve by hand very slightly and then shape while
you're cutting me, before we get, we need
to create our notches. So go ahead and do that and then cut along
the curve design. We need to add our
seam allowance. Now, curves. The less seam allowance
you have the easiest to work with may sound strange, but it is working with
and not very extreme. Like I've got here. The one that I have here is
not particularly extreme, so I'm going to add a
centimeter seam allowance. But if you're working
with a lot more curved, I one of the first markings they made way high and the
others were no recurved, like I've shown with this piece, then you want to actually add only half a centimeter
because I don't know, send to me, don't be quiet, didn't go to work when
it will be fiddly. Either way. If you are
a complete beginner, I suggest that you start
by working with and not very curvy card because
it's easier to get 0s. The process of salary
while painting. And I'll show you how
to pin the moment. I do think that it's slightly lot bunch of brands
to have a more curved. And if it's something
you've never done before, you want to start with
a little bit less. Sometimes less is more. And then we'll build on that. Danced out with something that's completely outside
your comfort zone. It's good to challenge yourself, but you need to start with a base and then
build on top of that.
9. Pinning curved panels together: If you have created
your curved panel, no matter how original
code you need to, pilling panel is quite
different than just straight. When it comes to curves. Notches are especially important because they are
very helpful when it comes to painting that inner
and the outer coat piece. So make sure they haven't
cleaned in my fabric. And I start painting, I mean, the two ends of the inner and outer terms and
then a pen on each notch. So you've got to be leaving quite big gaps in-between,
but that's okay. And make sure you can horizontally in a way so
you can take the pins out, like with the bias
binding last week. And once you have notches, you want to then find the sections right in the
middle between any two notches. The mid point
between two notches, those are the sections
you need to target. Next. You need to pay you
having the distance between sheets every
time out of it. And then once you've done that, you then need to have the
distance between any two ends. Again, there'll be quite
a lot of pins at the end. If you are working with
less pronounced curve, it'll be a little bit more easier than if you're
working with a very curve, curve like I hadn't done. So ease yourself
into the process. Don't go really. Extreme curves. Just add with B happens in Asia.
10. Stitching curved panels: Once everything's being pinned, you can go to your machine. Plays the p's depending on
what seam allowance and chose. I've chosen because it's
easier to work with spatial and then make sure you secure the beginning as tasks to changes
for the mediums. I take the pens as
you go and make sure that you check
as you go as well. So make sure you check
that so you don't catch some kind of a peculiar
may have been created. It is an easily done things, so you may need to unpick
things at some point, especially if this is
the first sample is possible that you
might have which Miami to just unpack that particular section
and work slowly, but surely don't rush
it and navigate as ego, you need to make sure that
it works slower than just trying to just sample the Sacred Way is
vital learning curve. Which one? Andrew, I need to do more
than once you've lost, probably will have to move
on once we've prepared. But enjoy the process. If you are using
different materials, it actually makes the reveal of the result really exciting. So it's something to look
forward to the end of that curved line teaching. I really suggest that you take your pins out because I know some people might tell
you to stitch our pins. But the reality is
that if you do that, not only will you
damage your pins, you could also break quite a
few needles on your machine. So not only is it wasteful, but it ends up more expensive because you have to
keep buying pens. And she knew when
you don't have to, if you're just doing ends out. So I'd stay away from keeping the pencil unless you're absolutely feel
like you have to. In some cases. That's my advice.
Baker, leave it up to you to have intentionally. So once you have stitch the
whole curve and secured at the end and you can go to TI. It will be a little
bit different to the regular seen that you
have done so far. I need to work slowly. Need to make sure that you
then press things flat. I do it from the
outside to ensure a good damaging the reverse, making sure that the
reverse is looking good. Once you master that, you could try to mix and match and create more
designs with panels. You'll see that you
will start using it. You have. And you're going to be mixing and matching
like you I do like, why not try and play around, see what you can come up with.
11. Final thoughts and homework: Your homework this week, I'd like you to have
good fun and create at least three samples using the different techniques
that I have shown you. So you could create
samples which straight, curved, and even Corner
Design lines and panels. I look forward to seeing
you in module four. Until then, stay creative.
12. Module 3 bonus - Corner Panels: Congratulations, you
have learned so much in this module about straight
and curved panels. And you have even got
a little bit creative. I'm sure I thought as
a bonus for this week, to give you an instruction
on how to create a now, a straightforward but these
little technicality to it. So I hope you're ready
for this one if you have done your curved animals. And last week, if you have followed the curves
seem instructions, you already know how to
maneuver things and you've probably feeling
a little bit more confident in saying machine, the neck and the
width of that corner that we're going to
the stitching together and the same on both pieces. What you do is you could have both pieces the same outbreak. You can have them in
different colors or imprints. Just make it more interesting. It's up to you. The easiest thing to do
is a laden Bode plot with the F shape on the left and the, the shape on the right
mentioned that you have got the actual corner point that's along the
seam line, Ahmad. And make sure that on
both pieces you want to take the L shape and
then flip it exactly. Flip it over right on top
of the rectangular shape. Then where we've
got that corner, see the long sides on
top of each other. The ROI edges line up. What you want to do
next is to grab a pen and pin it straight
through the dark. They have Matt on
the L-shaped corner making sure it matches
the dot on the ALS side. On the other shape,
that rectangular shape. So essentially the
two corners on both pieces would
mark them happy, pinned together exactly where this point I should mention. If it hasn't been
clear this point, the pieces should be now
are right sides together. And what you want to do
is the rest of the side, the long side that has the voyages of the seam
allowance is Lambda. Go to your sewing machine
as dad's teaching, making sure you
secure the beginning. As always, we stitch
and keep selling until the needle was right where
that dot is when corners. Needles square the jar test. So the judge should be
lining up on both pieces. And at this point, that's
why I wanted the L-shape needs to be on top because
we made this easier. Keep them needle in the hall and then lift the foot,
pivot the pieces. So the inner corner of that piece is right
in front of you. Take little snips. Because if you use
large scissors and cut all the way
to the needle, down, cut beyond the needle
are made sure they've cut to the needle because
if you don't cut it up, you're going to see later on, once you've done bang, you only cutting the L-shape. The seam allowance
on the L-shaped, not on the other piece. Once you've done that, you can then grab a
hold on the other end, like I have done here, and line it up when the end of the short side on
your rectangular piece. Exactly like I've done. Now. You can stitch
the shortest, making sure you have pin them if it's too difficult
to hold in place. Make sure also that you tied to that little folder has
been created around where the needle is still at before you put the
foot down again. And then continue until the end and make sure
they secure the end. And when you have taken
the whole thing of machine and you unfold
the L-shaped piece, we should have a
nice it will look better once you have gone
to your iron, I'm cold. Pressed your seams and then press flat and then
turn to the right side, make sure that's nice
and flat as well. If you have a
academies you haven't cut enough towards that corner. So you could go ahead and
grab a pair of snips and cut a little bit more up to the
actual corner of the stage. Be careful, do not cut
the actual stitch. I hope this has been helpful. You may need to do this
a couple of times if you have found it with more
challenging and you haven't, I'm sure it's been
very interesting. You look forward to
seeing you next time.
