Black & White

Over the last week we've been continuing on with constucting the bodice, whilst experimenting with different seams in pattern cutting. I have found both ver
y challenging, but am enjoying the fact it is a challenge and am realising I getting there and taking everything in in my own way and just making sure I'm asking for help whenever I need it. Even though I havent had much experience using a sewing machine I am quite pleased with the progress I'm making and feel it's not as hard as I thought it would be to at the beginning of the course, and feel so far with most of the processes my sewing has been quite neat just as long as I go at my own pase at the moment.I really enjoyed Monday constructing different shapes with paper and pinning onto the manakin, I think as it was a the first chance so far to individually be creative and have a day of exploring different shapes with paper whilst taking into account a garment piece. I'm really pleased with my final outcome and how my sketchbook is coming along, although I it's been a while since last working with a sketchbook I really want to get back into experimenting with drawing and developing research.
