This week I’m taking a break from the Designing my first collection series to do something a little different!
I’ve said it before, but one of the things I was most happy doing again last year in school was drawing.
This might be a little of topic from my regular sewing, knitting and design blogging, but I thought this topic could be interesting to some so why not give it a try?
(You’ll notice the handmade pencil case in the picture! Sewing is never very far from all my activities… 😉 )
This is the second part of a serie relating the story behind my going back to school and creating a fashion collection in just a few months.
A big part of the project was designing and actually creating the clothes for the collection. When that was done, it was a great relief but certainly not the end of the project.
If you’ve missed the first part of the serie about the design process, you can read it here.
Last year, I went back to school to get my degree in fashion design. The final test was to design a mini collection and present it to a panel of industry professionals. This three part series is the story of this amazing and intense adventure.
Hey, it’s been a long time!
You may have noticed that it has been quite a while since something new appeared around here. In fact, I have been silent for pretty much all of 2016, crazy!
However, after this hiatus, my new year resolution for 2017 is to come back to blogging and sharing my projects!
But before we start with new directions and what’s ahead, let’s focus first on what happened last year.
Happy New Year everyone! (insert virtual confettis! 🙂 )
Hard to believe that we are already in 2016! Wishing you a truly magical year, filled with lots of happiness, love, health, creativity and new projects. And may you be blessed by the sewing goddess…
Now, let’s talk about resolutions! With every new year, comes the desire for new goals and fresh starts. However, resolution is not a word I normally cherish. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to improve things and try my best to become a better version of myself. But setting clear goals is not for me this year. Instead, I prefer thinking of guidelines and have a little wriggle room for improvisation.
In any case, what better way to help keeping track of new goals, than to write them down here for all of you to be witness, and hopefully, helping me achieving them?!
After scrolling down the blogroll, I’ve read several inspiring posts about 2016, sewing goals and life changing decisions. Well, in my case, there’s no drastic decisions (they were made last year… 😉 ). But only a simple list of things and state of mind I’m hoping to achieve this year.
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a very crafty new year! 🙂
And a very happy New Year to all of you! 🙂
Thank you so much for visiting this little corner of the Internet and making my day with your lovely comments and words of support! I’m so grateful to be part of such an inspiring and kind community.
May your holidays be filled with love and laughter and family time. And wishing you lots of fabric, yarn, crafty goodies under the tree and that you’ll get to enjoy some time creating this Christmas!
See you next year for new exciting projects!
Here’s a look at the first real project produced in my experimenting class.
If you’ve been following this space closely, chances are you have already seen a few glimpses of a school project I’ve started at the beginning of the school year.
It was recently finished and presented, so now the time has finally arrived to show you the finished result!
The assignment was to create a wearable object inspired by a geometric form. This work was based on the circle and the feeling it creates for me.
