Thursday 29th= We were shown how to move darts in a pattern in pattern cutting. We did so many different samples of lots of different darts and we were given homework! It felt like I was at school again hehe. I think I get the jist of moving darts but I'm not that confident yet, I'm hoping that after I have completed the homework I will be understand more about how to move darts and where to move them too. After lunch we made patterns for a waisted bodice we made it into four patterns instead of two. I didnt get it all finished but have been told we will have time to finish it tomorrow.

Friday 30th= Second day of pattern cutting, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We made the template for an A-Line skirt that we are going to be making in construction next week. We were also shown how to make a circle skirt. I am going to make one in my size so that I have a better understanding of the making of one as we are not making these in construction. We finished all of our work for today early so we finished yesturdays work and did the homework, all I have left to do for the homework is cut out my patterns and put them in the correct envelope in my folder.

Monday 2nd= We went fabric sourcing in London which was really good. The stores were rather small, hot and clostraphobic for my liking but the fabrics they had were amazing! I got lots of samples and some ideas on what I want to do for my melting pot project that we start next week. We were being picked up by the V&A and I was hoping to visit it before we left but I didnt have time, we spent too long having a hot chocolate in a cafe off of Oxford Street! I am going to go up at christmas to see the exhibition that is on there, I might do abit of christmas shopping whilst im there aswell!
