Tuesday 3rd = I made my first proper flat drawing of a t-shirt today in Jamie's class, my first attempt wasn't very good, nor was my second or third. After a bit of practise I got the hang of it and started enjoying myself. Now we are doing fashion based computer things I am liking the sessions a whole lot more that before. I'm still not all that confident with it, but a bit more practise and I'm sure I'll bee fine!

Wednesday 4th= We made a fashion logo and label today for when we are proper fashion designers, it was quite exciting thinking that in the not to distant future we will be qualified fashion designers! Kind of scary to think about but really exciting at the same time. I am really pleased with my design and think it looks quite good!

Thursday 5th= We were shown how to put the sleeves on our bodices today, I found it ok actually, although I did have a few difficulties to start wth, I got there in the end and didn't have quite as much unpicking to do as some people! We were only told to sew one sleeve today as we are going to do the other tomorrow. In the afternoon we were shown how to make certain types of seams, i am going to need ALOT of practise with the square seam for this to be perfect! I can't get it round my head how you do it! I have done it a few times and keep getting the same bit wrong, although I am sure I am doing it how we were told. I need to get someone to help me.

Friday 6th= It was a catch up day on the sewing machines today which was good as this meant I got to finish my bodice. This took me nearly allday on/off as I kept getting little things wrong and had to keep unpicking it. I got to the point were I didn't think I would ever got it finished! I finally did at 4pm and was SO pleased with myself, it felt like a real achievment. throughout the day i made alot of the seams again that are in my folder. I made them look alot neater than my first attempts at them. I was hoping to get Caroline to help me with the square seam from yesturday but I didn't get to that stage as it took me so long to complete my bodice.

Monday 9th= We were given the new brief for our design project which is melting pot. I am really looking forward to it as I love looking to other cultures for inspiration. For this project I am looking into different religions and there wedding ceremonies and dresses. I am going to design a wedding dress for one of them, but I havent made up my mind yet what religion to use.
