pattern drafting workshop this week !
really enjoyed yesterday and today, found it quite hard as was something new but got the hang of it quite quick! the skirt and sleeves were no problem, but the bodice back was hard as its a key hole at the back and didn't sit how i wanted it to, but its cool now, looks great.

14th January 2010

finished my working drawing, look very plain, very detailed quite hard to draw it perfect, i loved making the blocks today for our dresses though. i found it really hard with so many numbers, i didn't realise how hard it would be, as i have never done that before, took a few attempts to get my bodice blocks right tho, as my measurements were a little off, but Hugo helped.

workshop- zips

learnt how to put in a concealed and channel zip today, was harder than i thought, but my samples look good ! not sure which one would suit my dress probably a concealed zip! looks more professional.

am looking forward to making my block tomorrow then can get started on pattern for my dress!

12th January 2010

Back at uni...
workshop on how to put a sleeve in i thought that was quite hard, as i can't sew straight, need a little practise with that before i sew my dress lol don't want it wonky !

Im going to do a dress with puffed sleeves it looks alot better and can cover up my dodgy sewing !
