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 !

paper dress



we created out black and white paper project for our design day today it was so much fun and really interesting to work in paper it was hard but alot of fun and you can create some really dramatic work this is my dress i created from the final piece to the begginning stages! working in paper was a real challenge and pins are needed...bodice construction

these are images of my bodice pattern being pinned and cut out of the calico fabric. we stitched and overlocked the garment together and then made the sleeves as well but will be attaching them next week and completing the bodice as well. i have to remember to check for the right side of the overlocking stich on the correct side!darts workshop
22/10/09 pattern cutting darts!! we learned how to do loads of different types of darts alot of them i have come across in making garments in the past but there were a few new ones such as the shaped dart which is great because you can really do anything you want with it! good to go over all the basics like pivoting the dart.

pattern cutting


PATTERN CUTTING friday - today we were creating a pattern for a simple bodice again but we modeled/draped it and then when we had created it on the manikin we took it apart and then made a paper pattern from it. i think i prefere this way of pattern cutting it is much more hands on and practical which is the way i seem to understand more. also this is the first time i have used designer tape which was so usefulll !! today was a really good day :)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....

This week we have done more inductions and created our first patterns in pattern cuting and construction princibles which was so interesting and i learned that you have to be very acurate when creating patters to make them work successfuly! this was my finished paper pattern its a simple bodice design with darts. It is really interesting and rewarding to be able to create sussesful garment patterns.
