so far 8/3/2011

last week i missed my formative assesment because i was soooo sick so I went in today to receive my dissertation results which made me more sick, I passed and that was great but the suspence of waiting made me feel worse. So I avoided David like the plague just so I could get on with my work and and go before I vomited all over the place. I lasted until 4ish I think then I relised if I carry on in this hot dull lighted room Im gana feel worse and will struggle to get home. During my illness last week I managed to do some printing, I finished my cupcake print which I love. Also finished my jersey print which I hate. the colours seem too baby like they need to be a bit brighter and pure. the lemon and sky blue just dont seem right to me. So I will have to invest in darker colours maybe look at printed jersey.

Anoying TWIST

I have started working on my trousers which are my jersey twist trrousers but im finding it very hard to keep the twist in. ive worked most of the weekend trying to solve this problem.

Mood Boards

My feedback stated that I need to show some marketing reference, which would show my target audience, the look or style, and show fashion designers that have a similar look to my collection. I managed to create
four mood boards which show where my inspiration for my look come from in terms of colour, print, and cut.

Its been a while since I have posted anything on this blog, but things have occured during the past month or 2 which has limited me to progress my work. The circumstances that I have come accross I have not been able to control and so my work has been rushed and not to a good standard, I have tried to catch up and keep up with the load but  at this moment I dont really think what I have fdone so far is enough. I managed to finish a few toiles but not complete outfits and not the entire collection which I am very ashamed of. At the moment I have been going to university just to get away from things at home but I go there just to be sent home. I wouldnt mind but it is costing me money. I should stay and dop some work I know but I feel like I need to be at home with my family at the moment which is hard because I have the worry of my work as well as the recent incident to deal with. Any way these are a few things I have managed to do in my project so far.....

DISSERTATION!!!

All I have been doing all wekk is my dissertation, its driving me absolutly mad. I have 5000 words and basically i have finished. I need to find another thousand words from somewhere Im stuck with what else to write. I am completely out of research and ideas. all I need to do is bulk it out some how but im STUCK!!!!

snow day

Well it has been snowing all day and all of last nite here and my road is full of ice and as I have to drive through country roads in order to get to the M25 I have decided that it would be safer for me to stay home, Bbutbeing the complete wally I am have left all my toiles in university thinking I can work on them tomoro saves me taking them home and carrying them back not thinking that it mite snow, So I am a bit confused as to what im going to do. I have my sleeves to my jacket so I will sew them up and if I have some fabric then I will try and work on a top I have in mind but i think today will have to be dissertation day at least then I can get most of it done by monday to show kerry. Hopefully I can come in on wednesday or thursday to finish my jacket toile ready for our toile reveiw

toile development and dissertation

After my depressing two weeks that I recently had I have finally cheered up. I think I was in desperate need of an alcoholic night out with friends. I can say now that I am well and truely all cheered up. My last toile reveiw turned out to be suprisingly succesfull so I have sort of stuck with what I was doing. I wasnt very happy with the fit of my skirt last time so I have managed to make a new one I just havr to concerntrate on the waistband and it should be finished. I also started making a jacket and a top which I have to say the Jacket is turning out to be better than the top.

On that note I received my feedback on my dissertation yesterday which thank god turned out to be good, Kerry had no major issues with my dissertation just a few twicks here and there but nothing bad to say which is excellent!!! So I need to start on my final chapter so he can have a look at it and we can go through it together.
