I did use the over-locker machine to neaten the jeans and to get any threads cut off. Looking at my first outfit I am not satisfied with the quality and style of them. I think I needed to do more research on bras shapes and the construction of them before designing and sewing my own. I think that this could of been easier for me to get the measurements more accurate rather than estimating.
however, I think that the jeans are the best I could of done and all I need to do is sew some more hem lines to get an authentic Jeans effect and add rivets in the corners of all the pockets.
I have been updated by Elle magazine about the purpose of rivets on jeans. --

I have bought two sewing patterns; one is for mens straight-cut jeans and the other is underwear for women.
What I plan to do is complete the bra first which will come from a sewing pattern and complete the underwear then I can move on to the mens outfit - which will just be the jeans and underwear.
Tomorrow I need to update my sketchbook, look at label designs for my jeans and accessories if possible.
If underwear and jeans are too risky for a fashion show I may have to consider designing sweatshirts which would be sustainable for the villagers in Xintang. - I have gathered inspiration of more modern shapes - and maybe the possibility of using the denim fabric rather than the organic jersey cotton.
Here is my Pinterest board where I source additional inspiration. --
