African Dance Attire

After finishing all of our work for the show, our class volunteered to help the African Dance and Drumming class in making their costume pants for their performance. This was an interesting project because it was actually making functional clothing (previous to this I had only made the Angry Birds and the apron), and we had to really take into account sizing. Samantha and I did a lot on this project, from cutting the pattern out, labeling them into small medium and large, and putting in the drawstrings. We had to deviate from the pattern, as while the shorts were meant to be more like knee length they were measuring out to be full pants and so we made the executive decision to recut the bottom line. I would have liked to see the performance and see them in action to see how well they ended up fitting.
