NICK KNIGHT VOGUE SHOOT
on friday the 6th me and bridie and housemates went to the somerset house in london to the showstudio FASHION REVOULUTION and we watched the nick kight vogue cover shoot it was amazing and soo interesting to watch how much work goes into a cover shoot i took loads of pics and drew alot from the actual exhibition which was really interesting with alot of different fashion designers work such as Garath Pugh and Alexander Mcqueen (amazing) but also watching the photos being taken going straight into photoshoot was amazing ! and how much the images were changed sooo much on photoshoot ! we then headed over to the V and A to look round the graduate and historical fashion which was really interesting and also we brushed shoulders with erin oconner which was fab a great day !

pattern cutting



more uni learnings
on wednesday we had an induction on adobe illustrator which was usefull but a little to long winded but on thursday the 15/10/09 our group started on the garment construction part of our course we learned how to use the overlockers, pressers and industrial machines ! it was so fun and we all made a load of samples in calico and chiffon. the samples we created were of: plain seam,plain seam edges overlocked together, edge and top stiched, self enclosed and a run and fell seam on denium. it was really interesting to learn how to create all the basic seams but to a high and well finished standard....
