The run up for assignment deadline day has been crazy and so stressful. I've learnt so much about myself during this process-I'm such a flipping worrier and could do with an extra large bottle of chill pills but with all the worrying aside, I did make it to deadline day :-)
I really don't know what I was thinking when I decided to design a shirt dress that could also be worn as a coat too..I mean It can't be that hard to make? Gosh I was so wrong but despite it's huge challenges..I did it...I MADE IT!
 |
| Nearly finished!!!! |
As always I like to fill up my post with lots of visuals along with a brief explanation.Here goes.....
 |
| Large outer collar in pink Chenille Very hard fabric to sew! |
 |
| Darts in bust line. Originally had shoulder darts but removed them as the bust darts looked nicer |
 |
| Plackets added as grow on in pink Chenille |
Although I've found these last couple of months extremely hard..I'm super proud of myself for actually getting this far as I really was ready to quit (as I've mentioned before) but seeing my garment go from first design concept to an actual wearable garment, that I have made, has just made me hungry for more GRRRRR and even more determination to carry on a gain my degree! Especially as I've also found my illustration 'style' and my confidence in drawing has really improved.
 |
| 3 portfolios of design development ready to hand in, along with fabric and print samples |
 |
| Final fashion boards with flat, technical drawings and fabric samples. |
 |
| My final illustration of AM 2 PM collection-Can't believe I drew these!! |
Last week we said Goodbye to our fashion tutor-Kerry. She is going to be missed so much. Kerry is such a wonderful person and has really help build my confidence and find my illustration style as well as teaching me construction too and thats only a fraction of what she has taught me..She literally walks, talks, eats and sleeps fashion and when I grow up, I want to be her. I'm 33 and far from growing up yet but having had the pleasure of knowing her for only a short time even though it feels like a lifetime, She has ignited a fire in my belly to make it in the industry. Thank you Kerry <3
