I am back

Hi everyone, sorry not been in here for a while, been so busy with my fashion course,  i dropped out of 2D design,  it was to much stress, but still have patten making, have wonderful tudor for that, and she also takes History of fashion, which i love,  think the construction tudor has killed my love to sew, but hopefully after the course it will come back,  here is what i have done so far, there is strick rules on what we can do for the first year, because most have never sewn before,,   so just cause i have made these clothes, doesnt mean i will ever wear them, cause me not like


This was my first assignment in class, its a skirt that goes up under the bust. with pin-stitching panels on each side,  two threads was run thru the needle,  kick pleat at back , little cut out V at front top.. i got 89% for this skirt , cause i put the kick pleat the wrong way and cause , if i top stitch i will put the colour on to bobbin, and i got marks off for saying i used one thread , not two,  but hey i was learning,, learning to ask every step of the way,  not that i was given all the info


next was trousers,  fly front, jean pockets, and i just did one patch pocket at back, didnt want to lose marks if they were a mm out, lol   93% lost marks for my back belt loop being 3 mm out,,   but thats ok,  going to be great summer pants, , had to make a second pattern as i put on weight before sewing them lol




The well it was a bodice, this fabric look great made up as shorts, but a bodice , what was i thinking,  still zip up the front, v neck, and peplum,,  i even put my own was labels in,  98% for this one, getting better,  have no idea where i lost a mark, could be i open the seam on the princess line and not have it flat, that's what i am thinking,

then it gets worse,,  this was not the pattern i had designed, but it was changed to what the tudor thought would look better, its horrible, who would wear it, not me, once it comes back from marking, the pleats will be removed,  and peplem added, or maybe it will be added to the rubbish bin, but while she is marking my work and i want good marks, have to do what she says,

Shirt is next, but i have already did a re run on my dress,   watch this space
