Almost finished

So one week into our sewing and this is our last garment for our range, and then its our couture gown.  This week im making a faded pair of denim jeans and a ghost voile top.  The jeans I want white to suit my range, three bottles of bleach, and its still not white! but im getting there.  Knowing its so close to the end, really is exciting but also a bit scary.  I cant wait to get a degree from FEDISA, but im not exactly sure what happens next, because I'm defiantly not ready to be working yet.  One thing I know is im going overseas next year and I'm already excited. Another exciting thing is the fact we making a couture gown, I really want to come up with something very unique.  Wish me luck! And just another phrase to go buy for the week.

Fashions Fade, Style is Eternal.

last week of visuals

So this was our last official week of visuals at fedisa! how sad! I cant believe we almost done...but the time spent at fedisa was amazing! today we have an early deadline, so Im going to have a full day to get all my things in on time..In this week we had to hand in a page for a cookbook and the key element was that your model had to have some sort of food on her..So I made a pasta neckpiece, as you can see in the photo..
So just another cute quote to go by for the week..

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."
— Audrey Hepburn

What a beautiful week

So our second week of sewing has passed, and my outfit is almost done, just a bit more of hand sewing and my outfit will be finished.  Seeing as I have only 4 more weeks to go, all my effort is going to go into work, so that i can be proud of what I have achieved in my three years at Fedisa.  Im almost a true graduate, I cant wait to tell someone I have an actual degree.  And then overseas for me.  So one more outfit to go, a week of visuals and then my couture gown! I really cant wait to start my next outfit.  My time here at Fedisa has really been amazing, and the best thing I could ever have done.
I thought this quote by Coco Chanel sums me up perfectly, and maybe it does for you to.  Have an amazing week.

6th Garment

So we into a new week of sewing.  And starting our 6th garment, the one I am making is inspired by the cobblestone walkway that is part of my theme.  It is a off pink knit, over batting, and I have top stitched over to create a block effect like cobble stones.  The top is going to contrast the skirt as it is going to be made of chiffon and be a lot lighter and airy.  Seeing as we already in August we have only 2 more months to go, and I will have my degree, I'm so excited already! and then I'm off to work on the yachts in America, to just travel and see the world, and then I will come home, and be ready for the real world.  So by next week this time, I will let you know how my garment went.  And just something to inspire you for the week.

Storyboard week! We had to design an outfit for a couple.  So my inspiration was Cinderella and her prince.  The outfits I designed had a very royal theme to it, but with an Asian twist.  I used a lot of cream, caramel and paisley print.  Im trying a whole new style of drawing, where I'm drawing my figures the same style the Walt Disney artists draw, well as I said I'm trying to.  Well Im really busy, so wish me luck!

So we working on our 5th garment now.  Ive made a long plunge neckline dress, with a beaded waistline.  The back is completely open and I am going to put strings of pearls draped onto the back.  For art next week, I have to create a cookbook for Fedisa, I have to have models dressed in food, so I am going to go with a Mediterranean theme, so my model is going to have a dress of pasta on, and the dish on her head.  I have a lot of work ahead of me, but only three more months and I will be officially done.  Would I do it again, most defiantly! 


Here's a picture for my inspiration of my range...
