This break was actually really fun and it wasn't because I had the luxury of traveling this year, it was because of the amount of time spent with friends sewing our brains out together. I know all my classmates were working on their collections over break, there were a few in addition to myself who came in to the sewing lab almost every day to work on things. I'm simply not as productive at home so it was nice to have the lab available during break. I patterned my entire third look and made prototypes of each garment to ensure the final look would fit as I wanted it to. My aesthetic isn't exactly tailored, classic pieces. Though my aesthetic has changed throughout college quite a bit, I'd say one thing that has been consistent is my love for voluminous, non-fitted clothing. Personally, I feel more comfortable in looser silhouettes as I don't feel everything is on display and I have more functionality in my ability to move around. This third look, however, is more tailored and intricate than what I usually design. I think it still flows well as the sleeve of the shirt is large and in charge, and the pants are somewhat loose.
In addition to my third look being patterned and prototyped, I did a few illustrations and made a bralette-type-thing to go with my second look. No free-the-nip for us!
It is crazy to me that we're hitting the one month from the show mark REALLY soon... I am confident I'll do all that I hoped to do but this will involve long nights with little sleep. This is the first time that I'm actually happy to function without much sleep, I can see the results of all the work I'm putting in and that is extremely rewarding.
Part of our fun was taking pictures almost every day to send to Lori to show her how hard at work we were! We want to make you proud, Lori!! Here are some progress photos of my work, the photos we sent to Lori, and our last spring break hurrah picture where we went to a new restaurant on Wealthy called Hancock (fried chicken and champagne, what's not to love?).
