Week 2

     Last week I learned how to properly sew on a button (leaving a space between the Botton and fabric so it doesn't pull on the button hole and so there are no loose threads). It was a great time to learn this trick because this week I got a men's XL blazer from goodwill and made it into a two piece. I had to rearrange the buttons on the skirt and I used the method I had learned in my internship to do it!

    This week I was able to sit in during a fitting and I got to watch how it worked and how the coat was adjusted after the fitting. I have been able to experience a little of what it is like to be a fashion designer– the good and the stressful– but this was the first time I experienced designer to client interactions and I think this is very important part of my learning (now I have a more well rounded experience).

    I also got a lot done this week on my own. I finished the blazer set (above), I got an oversized collard shirt from goodwill as well and played around with cinching it in with different techniques, and I also found a skirt from goodwill and it's fabric was super pretty but I didn't care for the skirt itself, so I am working on making a dress out of it currently.

    I couldn't find any comments on my blog (navigating blogger is not really my strong suit) but I will keep my eye out for them. My goals for next week are to work with the serger and create a specific dress out of some legging I got from goodwill. I'm very excited!
