Oh I have been a bit too quiet for the start of 2011!!

Oh dear, what a quiet start to 2011- best make up for it!

Well I have just returned for work placement with FOX Europe- I loved it and I got to see the inside workings of a huge worldwide sportswear company which was an unbelievable experience! Thank you FOX Europe.

But now it's back to business with a busy few weeks ahead.

I have just designed a dress for my friends engagement party so the schudule for tommorow is to draw up the pattern as monday is fabric shopping day.

I did a few designs for her after seeing the kinds of dresses she likes and finding out what she wanted style wise for her big party, and this is the sketch she chose....

Next post- fabric shopping!

OMG!!!! My First Post!

So here I am popping my blog cherry- This ones for you Ali (dark blue jeans)!



Its time to sum everything up so far into one post. I'm a Fashion Degree student in my second/final year of my Foundation degree. The self taught sewer I was can now pattern cut and design too-whoop whoop!

First year taught me digital print, textiles techniques displayed on childrens wear and ethical fashion.

Second year started with what i can only describe as a BANG!

8weeks + high end catwalk piece+ extreme hem/sleeves=stress, lack of sleep, tears and lots of un-picking

And here's the end result.................

What do you think????? 

Fabric- Silk Dupion (Netting, internally)
