Inzayne Creations Week 11

 Week 11

I am also almost done with another full ensemble. I finished the layer flannel skirt and hand embroidered the whole waistband. I also finished the base of the corset and have slowly been working on finishing the hand embroidered appliqués. 

I've been going through and added all my tags into previously finished garments and adding some extra hand embroidery and patches. This upcoming Wednesday is the photoshoot so I'm really trying to grind out the rest of my collection.  

Inzayne Creations Week 10

 Week 10

Here is the finished Subtraction cutting dress, I've decided I won't be putting this garment into my collection just because I feel like it doesn't fully match the vibe of everything else. Maybe if I find a model that fits in it really well I might add it into my collection... but for now It's not my favorite. 

I also edited my corset pattern for Lex's corset. I made all the changes on new pattern paper and cut out all the pieces for the final corset to start next week. I also continued to embroider the face patches for the rest of my ensembles. 

I also finished printing my costume fabric for my couture project! I'm hoping to add some of this fabric into my collection. 

Inzayne Creations Week 9

 Week 9

This week I went back to one of my older projects, the plus sized corset and layer mini skirt. I had my model come back in for a fitting to make sure the muslin fit perfectly. 

The skirt fit really well but the top had to be taken in about an inch and a half. I'm really happy with the fit and I can't wait to start working on the final version of this outfit! I also started my subtraction cutting dress this week. The process of subtraction cutting was really confusing to me and as of right now I don't think I'm very happy with the direction that my dress is going... I might not put it in my Capstone collection. 

Reese Westmaas- Week 8

I have finished my zero waste dress and decided to include it in my collection. I want to make a belt for it so it can be worn cinched in. I also have patterned, created a mock up and finished my second ensemble. I made a bubble dress lined with soft cotton jersey. I have added a belt to conceal some unsavory stitching around the waist that cannot be fixed as I spent 10 hours trying to stitch it down by hand and machine with it refusing to cooperate. Additionally I added detachable beads to the center front that can clip onto the belt as well. 

I have been working on fixing some stitching mistakes on my 1st ensemble and adding fabric bug buttons to conceal the stitching from the magnets 

Grace Anderson - Week 9

 This week I continued work on my second ensemble and a subtraction-cutting project for my sustainable class. I have almost completed my second ensemble and am currently deciding on a closure to finish the look. My subtraction-cutting project was an exciting challenge as it is an experimental form of pattern-making and was definitely out of my comfort league. The project involves sewing fabric together into a tube, cutting out circles, and sewing the layers together to create a draped dress with minimal fabric waste. I was very happy and surprised with how my dress turned out, I found it very challenging to release control of the pattern-making process but found that I was able to create something unique that I would have never come up with using traditional design and pattern-making techniques. 

Inzayne Creations Week 8

 Week 8

This week I finished the dress I started last week. This garment was a lot of hand sewing and embroidery but I really like the outcome! 

I also worked on some hand embroidery for some other appliqués that will be used on some other garments for my collection. My goal is to use the ones (below) as knee patches for my first ensemble (the black jumpsuit). I also went through and added my tags into all my garments!
Now onto my next ensemble. The subtraction cutting project for my sustainable fashion class. We'll see if I like the outcome enough to put that dress into my collection. 

Grace Anderson - Week 8

 This week I began on my third capstone ensemble, a black and red asymmetrical suit. The shell is made of wool, and the lining will be made of a panel of a silk Japanese kimono. I am planning on binding the seams with ribbon and creating facings to finish the edges of the jacket. This project has been extremely time-consuming but I am happy with how the suit is looking so far.
