This sketch was done in the drawing class we did and i liked all the techniques and different medias we used. This was one of my favorite PIeces i did.
This was at the very start of the year and we got to make a dress out of paper and design of the stand garments for our dolls. i thought the dress me and kate made was really interesting and made a great shape.

i chose these bacause these are designs i did at the start of the year and was happy that i had used interesting shapes and not just stuch to the body's sillouhette.


this was a research page put of my first project- creative approaches to fashion. i chose this page because it shows the theme i was going for which helped me develop my garment later on in the prject.



This is a research page i did over the summer before i started. the work i had choses was slah and burn so i wanted to get this across in my 1st research pages even though it doesnt quite show the direction im going to go in.




I chose thi spiece bacuse it was the first final line-up and proper piece of CAD work i had done on my own.
These are some designs I drew for the Creative Design practices module. Iused more unusual shapes than normal which gave me more ideas throughout the project

these designs are part of my design development and i was proud of the work i prduces and the designs i had thought of.


In my fashion art and culture project these are some of the images I modified on photoshop to show the sort of tone i wanted to get across in my work



I chose this research board because it was one of my favorite pages i did because of the colour and combination of research and design on the page.

these are pictures of my final garment and illustration





the talk about th pathways were really helpful as i thought that the pathways were different to what i got told in the presentation. i ended up choosing pathway b because i wanted to do a more hight street/retail part of fashion and i think i would be better at it than pathway a where you have to be extra creative to make one off pieces. im really excited for next year and to start doing the new modules. the tailoring course sounds really interesting and it will be a good skill to have. im now trying to pick my 15 pieces for my presentation and taking notes on why im choosing them so i can put them all on to here and the disk.

updates since easter

starting work with our 3rd years was a little nerve wracking. i was a bit worried what we would have to do and if they were nice. i think i was lucky! emily was really nice and gave me plenty to do. i collected a lot of things for her in town over th weeks including fabric and other materials. i was also given the responsibility of cutting out patterns in paper and doing some research for packaging and locations in which to advertise.
The interdisciplinary processes project went well and i felt really on top of my work so i didnt need to rush anything. the fabric workshop with angie was really interesting and i made my fabric i was using in my final piece. the tasks we were given over the days in college i thought were helpful as i tend to do more work when im given a target or deadline to work to.

i got my critical studies essay back the other day,it wasn't a brilliant mark but i passed so im quite pleased about that. im not really any good at essays so it took me a long time to write it and word it in an interesting way. i enjoyed makng my garment more than i ever have in th past because i was up to date with everything else i could just concerntrate on that. i think my garment turned out well and although its not one of the best ones out of our course i was pleased with it! the last few days before hand in are always stressful whether i've done my work or not. its just the stress of making sure you have everything you need and checking its good enough.
