Scene 2

Improve sewing skills Broaden my knowledge of fashion especially 1920s which was a pivotal time of change  Do something different from my subjects ( french   spanish  history and  maths ) –break from essays

Scene 3

Sewing – trousers, beret, dress Dissertation – intro, essay on women wearing trousers, hats and dresses to match with the sewing project  Timing: I completed sewing projects when I had more time: Autumn term and Summer holidays, whereas writing ticked over in spring & summer term. Linking together: I could use sources from the 1920s for sewing inspiration as well as sources for my essays, thus I could learn about the structure of the clothes and the context behind them  I did small essays on dresses, trousers, and hats and accessories I sorted the essays into sections: Origins, examples and features, implications, reactions

Actual date for completion and details
13/12/20-started on the 12th, done over
two days, took longer than expected due
to the waistband and having to unpick a
seam.
7/1/21- completed with 2-3 sources
found and a rough plan laid out
Postponed due to lockdown called-
I will look at sewing patterns and fabric
when the lcxkdown ends
A03
I used sewing skills for
darts, seams and hems.
There was some problem
solving involved as I
wanted the hips
measurements to be
slightly larger than what
was given in the pattern,
but the waist to be the
same.i also had to do
some thinking in 3D for
creating the pockets as
there were plenty Of
complicated panels
Used skills of observing
pictures from that period
carefully and documenting
sources
The pattern was of really good
quality- a reprinted 1940s one.
This combines the clear,
structured steps that older
ones often have combined
with a sturdy fresh pattern
paper.
I might try and focus on the
writing aspect of the project
during lockdown and leave the
sewing to when restrictions
are lifter

more research for that)

and hats in 1920s and
write part of essay on

Completed 25/2/21
Have made notes on hair, hats and
makeup
Have added techniques to my sewing
commentary
Did not get the opportunity to write the
essay however, as I had prior
commitments which made the week
much busier
This has been pushed back to the
following week, as the objectives for the
two weeks are relatively similar.
Have finished the objective from last
week of the dissertation on Hats, Hair
and Makeup.
Have found some patterns on etsy that I
can make the dress out of— have
decided on the length and the cut
I was told by my EP
mentor to expand my
rationale, as it had been
very brief, so a wrote
extensively about all my
motivations for choosing
this project and what I
hoped to achieve out of
I used multiple sources
and have improved at
hing able to scan pages
and extract the
information I nedd
efficiently
My notes proved helpful
for the dissertation part
and it was completed
efficiently
In future, I will write in more
detail to begin with in my
PPR, so my EP mentor doesn't
have to prompt me to
Factor in busy events that
could block up the week into
my timeline, and set a more
attainable objective for these
weeks.
Make objectives more concise
and efficient next time, to
make them more attainable
and clear

Scene 7

-Planned Break taken for mock exams-
31/5/21
I had planned to research and plan the part of the essay with the dress.unfpgy:p:@:!e!:y because of
unexpected schoolwork I have had to reschedule so I will plan and write the part of the essay about
the dress in the week commencing 14/6/21
19/6/21
I have begun to make some more plans for the dress design including what the different parts of the
dress are inspired by and notes on the dress part of the essay including pictures and primary sources
22/6/21
I have made more notes on dresses in 1920s and come up with a general structure for the essay
based on previous ones. I have also found a source about reactions to 1920s dresses
27/7/21
I have made the dress, notes on the process are all in the sewing commentary
I have made a to do list of all the things I still need to do for my EP which include the presentation
and evaluation and have made a more precise timeline for the last parts of my EP in the coming
weeks.

ource Evaluation
1.Bill, Katina. "Attitudes Towards Women's Trousers: Britain in the 1930s." Journal of Design History, vol.
6, no. 1, 1993, pp. 45—54. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/1315935. Accessed 7 Jan. 2021.
Authority
Objectivity: this is written on behalf of the Design History society, so is probably aimed to inform rather
that having a biased view
Timeliness: this is written in 1993 however since it is written about the 1920s, not much has changed
ceggrg _tp how we view the 20s, and there are some interviews from people who live through that
time and this would make it reliable
Relevance: this mainly focuses on 30s fashion, however much of the information is still relevant to the
20s so I will have to sort through carefully.
Overall Judgement I deem this source useful however important p! bear in mind that lots of the precise
examples apply to the 30s
2.Peacock, John. 1997. The 1920s, Thames& Hudson.
Authority: John Peacock was a senior costume designer at the BBC and has lectured in fashion history.
He has written a sourcebook on Men's fashion and a complete guide to English costume design.
Objectivity: this is written as a fashion sourceEX)0k so mainly aims to inform
Timeliness: made in the 1990s so a while ago, however since it is all describing the past the fact that it is
almost 25 years old doesn't matter so much
Relevance: this focuses on the 1920s, so it is perfect in terms of era. It is mainly drawings so is most
useful for the sewing part of my project, in terms of analysing the hemlines, shapes and cuts that were
dominant in the 20s

Scene 12

This showed of evidence of skill development as the project progressed  eg  pockets and seams

With the  dressthere  was a tricky seam at the shoulder which took a long time to sort out but in the end it lay flat

Scene 13

Scene 14

Various Covid-19 lockdowns meant I could not buy fabric from shops and test it out. This delayed a few projects  Printing out PDF patterns created some problems as I  wasn ’ t used to it before  Not having enough fabric for the bias- cut dress  Messy cutting resulting in sewing dilemmas Time management was more difficult than expected, as I do four subjects, juggling EP was hard. Next time  i  would do lots of the writing and admin in smaller gaps of time rather than always leaving it to 1 or 2 hour slots

Scene 15

Cut more carefully  Check patterns before printing I would do lots of the writing and admin in smaller gaps of time rather than always leaving it to 1 or 2 hour slots, so it seemed more approachable Cite sources as I go along rather than leaving it for the end  Structure diary better

Scene 16

Strengths   Weaknesses  Abundance  and range of sources  Consistency- project was often  don e in bursts due to busyness with school Dissertation  and sewing projects were often updated  I was challenged  at how hard time management was, I’m normally more punctual but EP felt hard to stay on top of.   Problem  solving for EP was rewarding and effective, I got better at it as well-  eg  for the dress’s bias cut  I learned  about the way I work in that I prefer to crack on with the project rather than go back and fill in the details  eg  sources

Scene 17

Citing sources and using databases such as JSTOR will be helpful for writing dissertations and coursework at university  Sewing skills: pockets, bias cut,  french  seams,  Applying  maths  in practice in sewing
