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!
Another quote to go by for the week.

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...

Third Garment

So its the second week into our third garments construction, and im liking this one a lot.  Its a pink dress, with lace panels and a cut out back, with little pearl buttons.  Its a full circle skirt, with lots of beading.  I am using moon stones, crystals and fresh water pearls.  And I am really liking it...And to top it all off, this is the last week of this term, then i have a week off, and then its off to Pep to do my internship, cant wait!  So here im off to carry on with the beading...

A week of sewing has gone by and my second dress for my range is in construction.  This dress is made from a nude colour chiffon with a baby pink chiffon draped over.  It then has a beaded pearl and crystal neckline and waist line.  So again its a very soft and French feel to it.  A tight pencil skirt style dress. And now a week of art ahead of me.  We have to design and make two different swing tags for our range.  So that's very exciting, i already know what I want to do. 
And a little phrase to go by for the week, by Coco Chanel; Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

So the wedding dress is finished, the bridesmaids dress is finished and the flower girls dress is finished!! what a holiday, not that I can call it that..But they all looked stunning and the wedding was amazing! and all the praises I got made it all worth while.  I dont think I would easily do it again, but a challenge is always good.  As they say all things that are worthwhile do not come easy.  So my first ranges outfit is officialy finished.  A white dress with a fresh water pearl neckline.  The end of year is creeping up very quickly, when I look again my whole range is finished..so far I'm finding it very exciting.  So I've added just a small picture of the bride and the bridesmaid.

And a little quote for the week;
