I went to an amazing fabric shop with Matthew the other day and drooled over trims, then this weekend my friends took me out and on the way we walked by a Bernina store. Think it's time to plug this baby in! I'm feeling creative, I've been planning a commercial line of screen-printed tees for a while now so it's about time I start getting some designs down. Sewing always teaches me patience and perseverance and I'm so impatient haha, I think I might need some of that perspective again.
Shorts shorts, I've made 3 pairs of pants this term and every seam is stitching into place, feeling more confident about making them. This Winter I'm making everyone pj pants! Well, I say that now but I know I'll be having Sanlam freakouts! It's so ironic, I was designing these dresses with the required 4 traits; luxury, quality, creativity and beauty in mind and thinking to myself, "Ha! Imagine making these crazy 3D sculptured dresses, I wouldn't even know where to start." Lo and behold... I'm excited though, I'm interested to challenge myself.
It's storyboard weekend, I have to design corporate wear, not the funnest because the brief is really specific. It has to be black, it has to be professional, it cannot show cleavage, it has to fit in with their image. Fabric shopping tomorrow for lots and lots of personal projects. Can't wait to make my little sweetheart dress.
I made an index page for my Thread magazine last night by playing around with my scanner. The magazine has been a two-term project for visual studies.
Have a great weekend, hopefully with not as much work as mine! x

Here are two teasers of the Thread magazine photoshoot that I styled and shot, unedited photos are due on Wednesday and I finished them today. I'm so glad and surprised that it's complete. Now all it needs is a round of photoshop at a later date. I love styling, it's very fun.
Since I'm already Miss last minute when it comes to deadlines, my second working flaw doesn't help me; when I have something hanging over my head I work hard on something entirely different! Last week I had to hand in patterns and I started making rings. I don't think I'm cut out for this responsibility thing.
It's been such a long day of work and now I need to get started on my new Sanlam storyboards. Would love to take a bath but my bathtub is full of handbags and glitter...as usual.
