Week One at the ASOS Stitching Academy.

Our first day at the Factory was great. We were provided with examples of different stitching methods. We had to follow them to familiarise with the industrial sewing machines. When we were ready we went onto the next step and started applying the samples on actual fabric. The second day we continued to sample on fabric and got to know the machines. We were taught how to dispose needles effectively and check the oil levels. On our third day we had a tour around the factory and had a look at the production cycle. We began to cut out some patterns to create a jersey t-shirt. We continued to work on our T-shirt's the next day. As our first attempt trying the put the garnet together didn't go great we decided to give it another go and start from scratch. We re-cut our patterns and started working on it again. We learnt different techniques to have the perfect finish on your garnets.  On our final day of the first week we managed to finish off our garmets, which we were happy with.
