BA2A: WEEK 17

15/2/2019

Monday

I was really proud of my presentation, I have always struggled with presentations but todays went really well, it was well researched and I knew exactly what I was talking about. I have really enjoyed this project as It has made me think a lot about the future and where I see myself after uni. 

Tuesday

The Jacket is finally finished. Today I had some help from one of our technicians to sort out the back. It now fits properly and the lining isn’t pulling it out of shape. I am really pleased with the final outcome of my work as I have put in so much hard work and so many man hours it feels like it is now paying off.  

Thursday

​Overall, this unit has really challenged me and I am really happy with my final outcomes especially for tailoring. I feel that I have really pushed the boundaries of my comfort zones to produce the best work that I can. ​
I haven’t enjoyed the fashion direction project as much as some people but I think that has come from me taking a really long time to decide what I was going to do as my final piece and how I wanted to take the project, now I have an idea and know how I can develop it further the project has come to an end. Great timing on my behalf there! Overall I am really pleased with what I have created, I put a lot of effort into it to make sure that It challenged me technically, this it definitely did!
If I was to do the fashion directions project again I would do more development into how to finish off my garments. I would find It really interesting to work out a way to have the facing included within the final pattern.

BA2A: WEEK 16

Tuesday

I really didn’t like the tutorial today, although it was good to have someone else read my essay I didn’t think it was great having the one and only help 10 days before hand in!!!!! As I had thought I had finished my essay it was quite disheartening to be told that it wasn’t ready, but at least I do have 10 days to sort out all of the changes my essay tutor wants me to make. Luckily I wasn’t the only one who felt like this after there tutorial so I know it wasn’t just me, which was quite the relief! 

Friday

​Todays tutorial went really well, we went through everything I had and highlighted what I was missing, this was really helpful as I now know exactly where I stand and where I am going to have to get a wiggle on and get work done. I was given a few improvements to make to my tailoring portfolio which I know once done will be worth it so I will get that all sorted this weekend.

Tuesday

​Todays tutorial was really good, we were just with fashion which was really nice, and helpful. I have found it really interesting exploring one pattern piece pattern cutting, I have created a bodice which I am really happy with as it is very effective. I will continue to explore this style of pattern cutting on a larger scale. I am beginning to like this project  a lot more now that I am focussing on pattern cutting.

Thursday

​Todays tutorial has given me a lot to think about for the industry awareness project. As I want to go into bespoke bridal wear when I finish uni it was really helpful getting to talk to Laura about it and what I can do to help me get there. I have quite a lot to do for the presentation in a couple of weeks but I now know exactly what to include and am happy getting on with it.
