Newspaper Jacket

I fnished the jacket off by machine stitching all the pieces together; hand stitching the arms on; gluing a thick, dark grey yarn on the edge of the lapels and hand stitching a button on the front.

Fashion Illustrations

These were done quickly and i'm not too happy with the way they turned out. I need to practice drawing and developing my style.

'Fashion Makers, Fashion Shapers'

Our I.T. assignment in college is all about looking at an iconic fashion photograph and taking inspiration from it to create a our own unique fashion photography.

I looked at this romantic yet eerie photo by Edward Steichen.

And here are a few favourite pictures from my photoshoot.

I found this adorable red fabric in a charity shop in the form of a big old granny skirt a couple of years ago. I loved the fabric so much and had to get it to add to the 4 over-flowing scrap material drawes we have in our house. I had a couple of free afternoons in summer and decided  to make my freind kelly a top. 

I made the pattern pieces by tracing around a stiff shift dress and adapting it to make the shape i wanted. Then using the neckline of my new top pattern, i created the pattern for the collar. The collar was made from an unwanted white shirt of my step-dads.

So tempted to jump on that bandwagon and get an inch or two of pink dip dye in my hair.
