let's get started!

On Monday my class had meetings with my design professor to make final revisions/approvals. She liked my colour balance, and I just had one design change to make. I handed in the changes today during class, along with my style summary sheet and drafting planning sheet for my first dress I'm going to make.

I discovered that printing at the print shop isn't the best way to go, my tan colour turned out orange looking, so when I buy more ink for my printer, I'll be printing off another illustrations sheet to hand in for Monday.

On Tuesday, we met with our sewing professor for her to approve our fabrics and for us to find out what kind of pre-sampling we need to do for sewing. We also decided which outfits would be made 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. For my pre-sampling, I needed to make a sample for a lapped zipper, blind hem, chiffon strap application, and a curved seam with a casing and boning, and for my second dress, pre-sampling includes a pull through strap and a front bodice with the draped chiffon.

The 1st outfit we make will be featured in the magazine that our program puts out that features one design for each designer, but with our small class, we may be able to get 2 outfits in the magazine *fingers crossed*

Tomorrow I don't have school, so I'm going to be spending most of the day doing some patternmaking, and steaming my blue fabric so its already to go when it comes time to cut out my pieces.

I cannot wait to get sewing my dresses, thats when the time will really fly by!
