This week was a good week as far as my collection has been going. I was really able to get ahold of all of the work I have to do for all my other classes, and I had a really good schedule going.
This week I decided to tackle one of the more daunting pieces (but also one of my favorites) which is a super asymmetrical Midi Dress with a side cut out. This look me quite a while to pattern and figure out how and what everything was going to look like, but never the less, I trooped through and got it done!
After spending quite a while patterning the dress, I decided to take a break from the dress and focus on another project. I ended up transferring up my Zero Waste Pattern to paper from muslin, and then cut it out in the final fabric. I was in the zone with this project and I ended up making it completely, illustration and all! After that I felt really good about having it done and put some more work into my Chanel Jacket! I got up to the required step and I am very happy with how it is coming along.. I didn't want to stop working on it! Finally, cut out my Mobility pattern for Garments in Action and Function in the final fabric and began sewing that- with lots of frustration due to my evil serger. I swear it is out to get me.
Then it was finally Friday! I always work on Friday from 8-4 so I had to take a break from my homework for that. The whole day I was thinking about my homework, so once I got home I pulled a late Friday night working my dress (including putting in a hand picked zipper) until I basically fell asleep at the sewing machine.
Overall, it was a really productive week for me, and I am feeling really good about all the work that I was able to get done, and I'm ready to keep cranking more things out this weekend!!
