A line Skirt

My A line skirt, it was made it out of White Cotton Drill. I found it easy to sew more than calico because it softer and easy to iron out creases. Still this far in to construction i was still finding it difficult, it wasn't the way we had to sew it that was easy to learn it was machines to get used to them. To make the pattern for the A line skirt was enjoyable, also in that lesson we got to learn and see the patterns for different kind of skirts like the circle skirt.

Shorts

My shorts, i was happy with these because at this point i was getting hang of the machines. The short as the same as the bodist was made out of calico, they are just basic shorts with a fly zip, and waist band and hems. I did a pattern of jean shorts which are much harder as they have pockets and yokes, so for extra work to put in my folder i did the pattern.

ruffles and folds

In my Design lesson i created a grament, which had some sort of element of ruffles and folds to go with the theme which was organic, i got told that it was just experimental so it was only pinned on a mankin. i really enjoy the activite and was please with my resaults.

For my reserach i look at dale chihuly, he is an american artist, he creates organic figures with glass. His work is very intresting and enjoyable to look at. the use of colour is amazing, there bright, Intense and Astonishing. I created a theme bored, and collected images of his work to help me with my design.

basic bodist

The first thing i made in construction with Pat and Jane are lectures, was a basic bodist. As it was first official thing iv made i found it very hard. the pattern cutting i really enjoy and find that easy to work out. The construction was difficult, to learn all the different seams and to put sleeves in i struggled with that.
