This week I worked on finishing my cape and dress as well as finishing my zero waste dress. I successfully completed both projects and was able to install my cape and hood at the GRAM where it will be on display until January 12. I am very happy with how both projects came out and am looking forward to starting my next capstone ensemble next week.

Grace Anderson - Week 6
This week, I am finishing my cape and dress ensemble and starting on a zero-waste pattern, as well as the pattern for ensemble two of my capstone collection. I finished laser embossing onto my cape fabric and have begun construction on the cape and dress. I plan to do a dress with pockets for my zero-waste garment that will be made of a woven fabric.

Reese Westmaas- Week 5
I have been working on a muslin mockup up for the Innovative Studies class. This project is inspired by Alexander McQueen and will be displayed at the GRAM during the McQueen exhibition. I want my dress to be a short princess seam tube dress made from non stretch satin. To make the pattern I used a slopper and modified it. For the innovative aspect I will be attaching ruched metal mesh around the bust and beaded straps.
Grace Anderson - Week 5
This week, I am starting on my second ensemble for my capstone collection. I am planning on creating an asymmetrical suit jacket with a matching asymmetrical skirt. I hope to start on my pattern this week, as well as purchase the rest of my fabric and notions. I have not made my final decision as to what method I will use to finish the seams or which closures I will use, but hope to have those decisions finalized by the end of the week. I am also working on a cape and dress project that will be used in my capstone collection. I am embossing my emblem into velvet and will make it into a cape.

Grace Anderson - Week 4
This week, I finished my first ensemble for my capstone collection. It is a knit velvet cloak with a red velvet-lined hood and red velvet-lined bishop sleeves. I also completed my dress made of a men's suit jacket, but I do not think I will be putting it into my capstone collection. I am beginning to think about my second ensemble as well as a project for another class that I hope to use in my capstone.
Grace Anderson - Week 3
This week, I am focused on creating the first and second ensembles of my collection. So far, I have completed the pattern and mockup for my hooded cloak and am working on an asymmetrical dress for a sustainable class that I hope to use in my collection as well. I hope to have both of these completed by the end of the week. I also put up my working board in the classroom and am excited to continue working on my capstone collection.

Reese Westmaas- Week 4
I have been working on reworking a mens suit for my sustainability course. I started off my draping the fabric after I seam ripped it all and sewed together a garment by mindlessly piecing it together. I was extremely unhappy with the outcome and felt embarrassed. I have been working on tearing it apart again and serging each piece then sewing them all together. I then draped that large piece onto the dress form and have shaped it to be a mini dress. I want the back to have a clasp closure and then make a belt cinch in the waist more. I also will add spaghetti straps.

Inzayne Creations Week 2
WEEK 2
This week I started drafting a basic pencil skirt with two darts for the base of my first ensemble. This skirt gets slightly longer in the back to accommodate for the natural curves of the body. This is my first time creating a pattern for someone who is plus sized!I'm hoping to have the mockup done for the skirt and top by next week. I still have to draft the four asymmetrical layers of gathered material that attach to the skirt. If this pattern doesn't work I might change the design to something that is gathered into an elastic waistline.
Grace Anderson - Week 2
This week I have been working on creating my first ensemble for my collection. My first ensemble will be a velvet hooded cloak with bishop sleeves. I have begun work on my pattern, bought my fabric, and am excited to begin constructing the garment.
