1.0 INTRODUCTION

This chapter begins with explaining the history of (SIWES) Student Industrial

Experience Work Scheme and also helps individual student in different field of

profession and also in the practical aspect of their work; follow by the aim and

objectives and the scope of the work.

1.1 HISTORY OF SIWES

The government decree of no 47 8 th October 1971,as amended in 1990, highlight the

capacity building of human resources in industrial commence and government

through training of re-training of workers in order to effectively provide much

needed high quality goods and services in dynamic economic as ours. The decree led

to the establishment of industrial training fund (ITF) in 1973/1974.

The student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) commence in year 1993

/1994 ,with the help of promoting skills industries with the expect of increasing a

deep collection of human. Power enough to meet the needs of the living.

The student industrial training program is been organized to expose and help student

to discover their profession after the completion of the course training.

1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

 It gives opportunity for all students to learn extra skills and get more

knowledge in their course of study.

 To expand students knowledge in their field of profession

  To expose students knowledge on practical aspect

1.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of my work is all about fashion design and textile technology. A fashion

design is a trained professional which main work is all about creating and designing

new style to change human outfit in different dimension. This is a process whereby

dynamic ideas, skills are sealed and entered in a recognized from through the drafting

process. The techniques are determined by the fashion designer. In earlier day

consideration off-beat career option, but in this current days, this field is a glamorous

appealing and full of creative ability and more fashionable. High skills and creativity

is required in fashion designing profession.

Like…………….

 Thinking Ability

 Creativity etc

As a fashion designer, we have more opportunity of work placement in fashion

industries, textile industry, and journalist etc

 CHAPTER THREE

3.0 SUMMARY OF THE WORKDONE DURING THE SIWES

3.1 MEASUREMENTS IN FASHION DESIGNING

Measurements are the basis of making clothing, particularly because you have to

actually measure things to ensure that they will fit you correctly.

3.1.2 HOW TO TAKE BODY MEASUREMENTS

Taking accurate body measurements is one of the keys to great fit.  Whether you

choose to make your pattern block from a commercial fitting pattern or draft it from

measurements, having accurate measurements is critical to the success of your block. 

All we need is a tape measure while it's easiest to have someone else take your

measurements, it can be done by yourself. 

A - Bust - Measure the bust at the fullest part. Measure all around the body (total
circumference).
B - Waist - Measure the waist where the body bends.  It helps to bend side to side to identify
exactly where to measure.  You can put an elastic band around the waist to mark the correct
placement.
C - Hip - Measure the hips at the fullest part, usually around the seat.
D - High Hip - Measure around the fullest part, about 3 - 4" below the waist. This is helpful
when fitting a slim skirt or pants (to get an accurate idea of the shape of the hip, or the belly).
E - Front Waist Length - Start at the shoulder (right next to the base of the neck), and
measure to the waist, measuring over the fullest part of the bust.
F - Back Waist Length - Measure from the base of the neck (in the center, not the side), to
the center of the waistline.
G - Arm Length - Measure from the top of the arm (find the bone at the shoulder/top of
arm) to the wrist (find the bone at the side of the wrist), WITH THE ELBOW BENT.  It's
important to keep the elbow bent to allow for movement when you make a sleeve.

3.2 HOW TO SEW SKIRT

In a skirt usually, the opening is kept on the side seams, though center back openings
are also common. Center font openings are also used. Skirts are one of the easiest of
all clothes you can make out of that a straight skirt is the easiest.

HEMS
The hem is usually a turned under edge – a 2 1/2 inch extra is added to the bottom
edge for this turned under hem

POCKETS
Side seam pockets are the most commonly used pockets for skirts. Patch pockets are
also used
WAISTBANDS
Usually, a waistband of 1 1/2 to 2 inches is given to skirts. The width will be the waist
round (measure around where you will tie the skirt without any belt) plus 1 inch extra.
If there is an extension for a stud or buckle add 1/2 inch extra
TRIMS
You can add frills, lace, ribbon etc as trims to give an extra edge. You can add a sash
and then tie a bow in the front side for a cute look.

Measurements you need to make a pattern for a simple straight skirt block

 Waist round (Where you mean to tie the skirt)

 Hip round (widest part of hip)
 Measure distance from waist to hips (Mostly this is 7 inches; better measure on
your own body.
 Length of the skirt from waist

FRONT SKIRT BLOCK

BACK SKIRT BLOCK
Add your waistband . A straight waistband with buckle or faced one will work

3.2.1 CIRCLE SKIRTS

A circle skirt is, as the name implies, simply a circle with a hole in the center for the
waist.

Drafting the Circle Skirt

While this is a full circle, this skirt will have 2 side seams, or 4 seams (center front,
center back, and sides) and a side or back zipper. In adult sizes, it's very difficult to
find a fabric wide enough to cut the entire circle without seams.
My example is for someone with a 27" waist, and the skirt will be 28" long.
HERE COMES THE MATH:
Remember that PI = 3.14". The circumference of a circle is PI x the diameter.
In this case, you already know the circumference of the waist circle; it's the waist
measurement, 27"
 Divide the waist (27) by PI (3.14) = 8.6". This is the diameter of the waist
circle.
 Divide that in half again to get the radius of the waist circle. 8.6 divided by 2 =
4.3. (use 4 1/4")
 Use a piece of paper that is about 36" square (36" in both length and width).
 From the corner, draw points at 4 1/4" along the top and side of the paper (the
radius of the waist circle), and in a curve in which each point is 4 1/4" from the
corner. (Use a tape measure that is pinned at the corner and move the tape in
from top edge to side edge - it works like a giant protractor). THIS is your
waist seam.
 Add the skirt length (28") to the radius (4 1/4") = 32 1/4". Using the tape
measure (still pinned at the corner), and mark a line (curved) 32 1/4" from the
corner point, from the top edge of the paper to the side. THIS will be your
hemline.

You can cut this as is (with seam allowances and hem added) and use 4 seams, or as
drawn, with one side on the fold (see the sketch below for the half-circle you'll get if
cut on the fold). You'll need WIDE fabric for this skirt if you use the fold.
3.3 SLEEVE MAKING

Sleeve design is an important component of any style you create. It can be the focal

point of your garment, or just a nice little detail that sets your style apart; the "icing on

the cake", so to speak.

CAP SLEEVE

The cap sleeve is an example of that little detail that sets your garment apart from the

others.

The top at left is not a true "tee", nor is it a tank or sleeveless top. It's a great summer

top, but just a little bit different. There's just a tiny bit of arm coverage, but it's still

cool enough to wear on a hot summer day.

BELL SLEEVE

The bell sleeve is another slight variation on a basic sleeve (in this case, the basic,

straight blouse sleeve).

FLUTTER SLEEVE

The flutter sleeve is super-feminine and looks fantastic on a floral print, garden-party

dress - or adds a feminine touch to a simple flared top.

GOWN MAKING
Step 1: Cut out the pattern piece for the back

You need to take body measurements – bust round, shoulder tip to shoulder tip.

Decide on the length of the dress you want, preferably under the knee.

Cut out 2 pieces of fabric – 40 inches (or the length you want for the dress) long of a

44-inch wide fabric.

The below given is the markings for the back piece. Fold one of the fabric pieces by

the center. Keep the center fold to your left and mark as in the following diagrams.
Step 2: Front piece

Mark the front piece as per the pattern given below but do not cut out immediately

Step 3: Make the facing for the neckline

Take an interfacing fabric (paper thin) which is 15 inch wide and 10 inch long. Fold it

by the center and keep the fold towards the left of you. Mark the neckline

measurements on this as in the picture below.

Step 4: Stitch facing to neckline

Keep the facing on the front neckline, rightsides together. Align the center of this

facing with the center fold line of your front pattern.

Step 5: Finish the back neckline

Step 6: Join the front and back pieces at the shoulders

Step 7: Bind the armholes

Bind the armholes with more bias tapes. For armholes, you will need longer bias

strips

Step 8: Sew the side seams together

You will now have the a-line dress almost ready with just the hem to finish.

Step 9: Sew the hem

When there is a curved shape my favorite way to hem is a baby hem. Simply turn

under the edge 1/4 inch, finger press and stitch 1/8 inch away from the folded edge.
 CHAPTER FOUR

4.1 CONCLUSION

I hereby conclude that this program worth esteeming and continue to be there for

students to help them apply their already-had theoretical knowledge in practical

aspect.

4.2 RECOMMENDATION

I hereby recommend that;

1. Students should be assisted to get placement that are relevant to the field of

their study.

2. Students should not focus majorly on the financial implications of the

industrial training but be focused and develop interest in the experience they

will be exposed to or that will be an added advantage on their side.

I hereby also recommend that the government and the school authority should assist

in the areas of encouraging research work and provision of laboratory equipment and

facilities that will aid in the aspect of research and development.
