My Capstone is called 'Cherry Bomb'. It is inspired by girl power, and the strength of femininity, along with some rock and roll ties- the name Cherry Bomb came from a Runaways song (an all girl rock band from the 70's (before Joan Jett was with the Blackhearts)). Overall I really just wanted to create a collection that was fun, exciting, girly, edgy, and completely me, mainly I wanted to make things that make people smile, especially during this crazy year we are experiencing.
The first couple of weeks, I spent gathering my fabrics, and working on patterning my first couple of pieces. I was able to pattern and complete my first dress, within the first two weeks. I then took a little break from my Capstone for a couple days and worked on designing and creating my thermal jacket for Garments for Action and Function.
After completing my jacket, I began creating a top from my collection. I really didn't like the top after creating it, scrapped it and went back to redesign. I had a realization that I needed a little sparkle... I am in face a glitter person. So I (in a panic) fled to the fabric store looking for something to add a little shimmer to my collection.
In the end I made a new top and was able to redesign to incorporate the sparkle I so needed...
Then once happy with my new top, I patterned and designed my favorite pants I designed, I paired them with the top and one look was complete (except for hems, I'm planning on doing the hand sewing at the end)
I was sidetracked once again, working on my Post Consumer Goods project and my Chanel jacket, so I spent a few days working on those, and then designed and ordered fabrics for my Mobility and Visibility projects for Garments for Action and Function.
Finally, I patterned and made a super ruffled skirt, and top for my capstone, I decided on changing the top, and redesigned to make a bodysuit, but I am feeling more on track now..
And, that's pretty much where I'm at now!
So, until next week!
