week 10 2,3,4,5 /12/08

On Tuesday and Wednesday we had private study so I completed some work on the shakers design project, this i feel is going well.
Thursday and today we had the studios to make the shirt, when we had finished on the sewing machines myself and a friend from the course decided to do a pattern for the shorts as we had not been asked to this and wanted to see what it was like, it was hard but we followed the instructions and it was useful to see how it was created, we also made an extra pattern for a shirt collar to gain further knowledge, as I struggle in pattern cutting I found this extremely useful.
I have managed to get quite far with my shirt and feel that I should hopefully be finished by the deadline next week, I found constructing the collar very confusing at first but when I completed it, I felt I had learnt a lot.
A girl in the second year, Amy, has asked me and Lucy, a friend from the course to model for their photo shoot next week for their jackets, it is an androgynous and feminine theme, it should be so much fun I can’t wait!
