6 WEEKS AND COUNTING

Quick overview of the week.

Quick sketches for design development, pages and pages of it.

Sketchbook research sticking, reading over the making of 'THE MUMMY' for design ideas and background research.

Through online store research I also completed research on my target market, looking at the lengths, cuts, details, embellishment etc.
These will be uploaded as graphs or at least pics of the info when all compiled into one document.

Sewing: I have lengthened the back length of the vest top to accommodate the knot detail and traced off my contrast (colour and material) strip. I started laying the material for my leggings. Note - pinning on jersey/similar materials is really not the easiest; it slips like sheer materials and stretches (and as my stretch block only has 1cm SA slipping and cutting into it could really throw off my patterns).


Last but not least continuous work on observationals - picking out what I'm taking for inspiration for my designs and designs - YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH until you run out of time =P

FMP again (Post 4)

Not as much done this week but more fashion visualisation work - no talking more pics. I focused on visualisation this week and web though they aren't perfect I'm pleased with the results so far (minus spilling my ink on one :/ ) Fmp wise I have done some sampling work with the new fabric heat tool I purchased. It worked brilliantly on sticking rhinestone gems to my materials but the tool to cut through synthetic materials (cuts and stops fraying simultaneously) hasn't yet worked more trial needed with it I think.
Here is my progress:
