The Sewing Workshops in Alleys

Through the visit to sewing workshops, we came to realize that we had no idea about our clothes at all. To better know about the texture and components of clothes, we decided to take them apart and find out their secrets. Our school happened to have some donated second-hand clothes. So we asked the Office of Students’ Affairs and saw if we could have a piece of clothing. The head of the office was very nice and took us to choose clothes.
We studied the texture of clothes before taking them apart.

Yi-ping began first. We felt very curious~~(d3)

After thoughts about the secret of clothes:

Po-ta Chen

In order to prepare for the presentation, we had to take the clothes apart. At first, I thought it could be done very easily. As it turned out, there were many parts including the front, back, cuffs, collar and buttons...Oh! There were about 12~13 parts to be torn down. Fortunately we had a very violent, no, strong classmate who was able to quickly remove the parts. With little strength, I could only find the thread and cut it with a scissor. Then I handed the clothes to the strong classmate.

In order to make it clearer to the students attending the presentation what parts the clothes were composed of, we took the clothes apart. There were collar, pockets, front, back, cuffs and so on. We also knew it better ourselves through this process.

The teacher taught us how to take the clothes apart and prepare for the presentation. We used scissors to cut the threads and tore the clothes into collar, pockets, front, and sleeves, cuffs, etc. We did not know that the clothes had so many parts until then. We thought they were just one piece of cloth. We found the collar to be the most difficult part and the cuffs easiest.

I did not know that the clothes had so many parts before that. I was astonished. I thought clothes were made from one piece of cloths. In fact, they were composed of many different parts. There was a lining inside the collar to make the collar straighter and nicer. Through this process, I came to know about the clothes we wore.

The uniform was made of collar, pockets, front, sleeves, cuffs and back. The uniform could be torn by scissors easily. Or you can just use your hands. That feeling was great. I realized it cost a lot of money and time to make clothes.
