Officially on Holiday!

Okay, so it should've happened last Friday but since I wasn't able to finish the shirt for textile and had to hand it in this morning at 10.30, my holiday officially starts now! Yey!

I'm taking one month to sort my brain, get some, scratch that, lots of inspiration for next year's signature collection. I bought myself a notebook and some jelly pens from this new stationery store at DFO for a start. Well, not really, it's supposed to be a travel journal but who knows, I might be inspired. =)

End of School Year

Yey!

Finally finished the last project for the year. I was supposed to hand it in last Thursday but the fabric paint hadn't dried yet. I don't like the outcome but right now, I'm so over it, I don't want to change it anymore. The good news is that the school is planning to offer a workshop of sorts to those taking the Advance Diploma course. Textiles, I mean. Students would be allowed to experiment on the techniques they want while S, the lecturer, would be supervising. I don't know when that will be implemented but it's one thing to look forward to.

The Bias Gown project ended last Wednesday. There were great ones and simple ones. Mine was simple. It looked like a child's dress, no, more like a child-bride's dress. lol.

Here are some of what I thought were the really good ones.

2 Major Projects Done

Still recovering from lack of sleep. I didn't sleep a wink the entire night before the Fashion Design 2 presentation on Tuesday and was quite proud of myself.

Unfortunately, not many were able to finish. It was, in my opinion, the worst presentation ever. In our class, there were only 3 of us who presented. Many didn't show up. The bad thing was, the others were given opportunity to present this coming Tuesday and would only be deducted 5% off the total mark instead of getting deducted 5% each day as was the rule. It was unfair for us who finished our stuff to meet the deadline.  So...two so far have expressed their intention of writing to the school to complain about this. Don't know if the school would do anything since they normally don't. 

Today, I finished my CAD homework using the materials I for Fashion Design 2. Cam was fairly happy, I think, since I used illustrator in almost all of my work.

Next week, the Textiles Folio is due as well as the Bias Gown.

Tomorrow, off the buy fabrics. Hopefully I get a good pile to be used for next year since I'm looking at lean months soon.

Sigh

Still not done smocking. Yes, you read it right. Smocking. No. Not Smoking. Smocking. The old world way of embellishing clothes by running seams through it. 

I'll post a photo when done.
