Monday 8th March= Had uni this morning and I made up the pattern for my poncho. I made it on the stand which was alright, I made it up as I went along, I think it will be ok though when I construct it. I started pinning the pattern on the fabric but had to leave early as I had the dentist.

Tuesday 9th= IT in the morning with Jamie I have now finally caught up with my blog! I am very pleased with myself. I hope it is ok and written how it is meant to be. I have written it like I did for the journal I had to write for the Foundation course I was on last year, which I was told I had written very well.

Wednesday 10th= Buying and Merchandising we did "Managing a Range" to fit a Company's or Brand's Requirements. I found this a bit repetitive to what we did last week so I was a bit bored. I drafted some of the essay that we are writing for the Buying and Merchandising side of the course. I think it is coming along really well, I am doing it on New Look and in particular the store I work in in Poole I am finding it quite interesting writing on my place of work, it is giving me a better understanding of how things are and why are done in certain ways.

Thursday 11th= Private study day. I cut out the rest of the pattern for my dress and poncho. I also wrote up the essay for buying and merchandising that I have written so far.

Friday 12th= I made up my dress and poncho and put them on the mannequin to see how they fit. I like how the dress fits although it is a bit baggier than I first hoped it would be. The poncho is tighter than I would have liked it to be, especially on the shoulders. I am going to make another poncho that is bigger around the sholders.
