tasks at work

As my team has been running out of things for me to do lately, I thought I would share some pictures of what I have been doing.  In the past week or so a lot of showroom samples have been coming in.  However, if something is wrong with the sample, there is not enough time to send it back for a new sample before review.  So, tech gets the lucky task of fixing all the details that are wrong.
This week I had to cut the hem off of a dress and sew it on (hand sew it!) to another dress at the waistline.  The dress was supposed to have a crocheted waistband, but it came in in an eyelet fabric like the rest of the bodice.

This is the hem I cut from the other dress.

This was then hand sewn to the bodice of the dress...

This was an all day task; took 3 hours.

When the people I work for don't need anything I also work with Anand, who does all the MMK jackets.  A lot of times he'll have me make exact copies of patterns for him so that one can be sent to the original factory and one can be sent to a new factory to see which comes out better.  Rather than trace the patterns he just does them on the copier and tapes them together.  I also have to copy the under sleeve pattern twice because he pastes it to the other side of the sleeve in order to make an entire flat sleeve pattern.

This week Danielle and I also had to take the trim off the pockets of 4 jackets for Anand.  We had to then hand sew another color trim on the pockets for showroom samples.

Only one more week to go!
