3 weeks left (not even that) FMP

This week I have spent a lot of time adding everything into my book. Photos and pictures illustrating what I have written. I added all my designs to my sketchbook from the separate pages.
I added my research into codes, hieroglyphs and symbols into the sketchbook.

I didn't make as much progress this week as I wanted to upgrade my sample folder from last term to get the highest mark I only just missed out on.


Before my sewing lesson I sampled overlocking without the knife to see how this might work on my scallops. In the lesson I worked on perfecting my legging details and started toiling my vest top.

I couldn't find crepe for my garment so I am using chiffon instead which will be harder to sew but will give the same effect. The chiffon is more similar to crepe than  I had expected so still goes well with my jersey.

Management lesson was used to cut and stick research. Design methods was more sticking and designing - annotating my designs too. Aer was resubmission work, designing and checking my material choices with tutors.
Over my weekend I overlocked  my hem, roll hemmed my chiffon hem and pinned together.

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 3

Working isn't easy with trying to pick up as much overtime as possible, socialising and being there for your friends and even harder when your brothers are also on half term.
That said I have made an effort to get some done. I worked on printing everything off and getting it stuck down. I also continued the observational drawings.
With all the images compiled from vionnet, downton abbey and on symbolism including Egyptian hieroglyphs and synonyms (as this is a way if hiding or obscuring meaning). All the symbols collected have meaning relating to my theme such as fun, joy, dancing etc.

Next week hopefully I'll get more toiling done and I can show you a near full sketch book. If I don't get bogged down with updating my FMP diary.
