Camouflage

One of the ideas behind my project was to use the same fabrics for fashion as interiors.  This picture shows exactly what I had in mind.

For my dissertation I researched the concept of Make Do and Mend and this idea was definitely inspired by the countless stories of mothers making their children clothes from old curtains.

It might have also been inspired by the Von Trapps..

More Degree Show

This one includes my favourite oversized 'Bloomtown' bag...I'm not going to lie, I designed this one for me... it's got a beautiful pink velvet lining, can't wait to take the exhibition down so I can start using it!

Deadline Day

It's over! And here it is...

I have set up my exhibition space and it's awaiting marking...

I am now going to start putting my life back together after so many months of thinking of nothing other than my Final Major Project!

Final Week

The deadline for my project is tomorrow, so I have been spending this week finishing off bits and bobs and setting the exhibition up at college...it's a bit scary that the whole thing is coming to an end!


This is another picture from the photoshoot, this time of my dress.

Next week I will put some pictures up of my final show! 

Photoshoot

I have been taking photos of some of my Final Pieces.

This is my favourite bag from my collection.  It is extremely oversized, has a floral print and a pink velvet lining.  

Also pictured are a lovely bike and gorgeous cottage, neither of which belong to me, big shame!

Pick a card, any card.

My moo cards have arrived, hooray!

I can't choose which one is my favourite, but perhaps, like children and pets, one must love them all equally :)

Career Planning

Today I looked on the Indigo Trade Fair website, as I am working on my 'Career Plan.' And thought I would look up textile agents.

But then I was greeted with this lovely leopard- rabbit.  I have now been completely distracted as I love this image so much!


Today I received a first glimpse of my dress, in the form of a picture message, which I gave to a dressmaker to be made up last week... I am really pleased with how it is looking so far!  Even though I created the pattern and made up the toile, and printed the fabric I still hardly recognised it as a made up piece....


Very exciting times, I will post a picture of the finished piece when I get it back.
