No excuses

No excuse for me not to get my bum into gear and get this blog up to date. I'll upload images and information about my recent design and pattern cutting projects and fill you in on my Christmas work and plans over the festive period. You may also be lucky enough to see the results of home dyeing which will either end up amazing or awful

Merry Christmas

The final push for christmas

Sorry for the slow blogging again, I finish uni on Friday and am working hard to get everything up to date and handed in this week so I can enjoy all the chrismassy things me and my friends have planned. I have two projects to hand in, which I will let you know more about later, a design project and a pattern cutting project. I'll admit that the design has been harder than the pattern cutting, but I think thats purely because I overthink my designing. So after re-doing the design process fingers crossed it comes out a bit better.

OOTD

Thought I'd do a post breaking down what I wore today as I forgot to note/link in my earlier post.

I had alot to do today, with lots of running about town so I wanted something that would be warm but cute at the same time. My wardrobe is full of dresses and I don't want to neglect them during the colder months.

Hat-H&M

Leather Jacket-New Look

Jumper-H&M

Belt-ASOS

Dress-H&M

Leggings-H&M

Boots-Topshop

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Today has made me feel exceptionally christmassy, despite having to go into Uni to use the studios for a little bit. My Christmas shopping is practically done, my student flat has a proper decorated Christmas tree, and i was lucky enough to be able to spare a few hours to feed the ducks and play on the park with some of my friends from halls. Being a student helps you to rediscover all the little things in life that don't really cost much but make you happy. :)

Illustration Masterclass

During my first term at uni I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to have 2 days of masterclasses with Fashion illustrator Kim Dalziel. Normally I'm very reluctant/nervous about drawing and didn't have much belief in my illustration skills but Kim's teaching meant I was relaxed throughout both days and my confidence has greatly improved. So here's a snippet of some of the illustrations I did over the 2 days (the people I illustrated where all classmates and we took it in turns throughout the day)
