Semester's Almost Over

So the school fashion show was last week. I'm still not sure if I'd do it again. Mainly cuz it was insanely disorganized. However, at least I participated and I got some good feedback from my teachers. I didn't win anything, but everyone seemed to love my skirt. My Clothing I teacher told me my skirt looked more designer than ready to wear for the print and way it flowed. I don't have any pictures however as I couldn't have my phone on me pretty much all day. But still, the compliments were nice. And our wonderful web developer/awesome friend made it out to cheer me on! As did my mom and brother, though he did have to be dragged to it haha. That meant a lot to me. I'm not used to people supporting me in what I do.

There's only 2 weeks left of the semester. I still have a ton of stuff to do, but luckily I have a day off of work coming up so I'm hoping to just plow through everything. I did get another A on a History of Costume test. And hopefully I'll find out today how I did on my most recent one for class.

My serging class is going better and better. I'm starting to use it for everything. I hadn't even cut out my pattern for my shirt in Clothing I this past Monday, but by the end of class I had it almost completed. Now I just have to set in the sleeves and finish up the collar. My sleep shorts for my serging class are turning out fantastically. I accidentally bought the wrong size elastic, so I didn't get to finish them in class last week. I did find a really pretty thread, so I ended up hemming them with a satin stitch instead of couching some yarn as decoration like I had planned. They're so stinkin cute.

I have my story and idea for my collection for Workroom Sketching. I'm really excited to put it all together. It's seeming far less daunting now that I have an idea of what I'm doing and what exactly needs to be in it. It's going to be a fall collection, and I'm going with mustard yellow, a forest green, navy blue, camel, and taupe. The story line I'm thinking of is how more and more people are finding love online or abroad, i.e. my cousin, and so you spend more time traveling to meet or see these people, so you want a wardrobe that is gonna kick ass, but also travel well. I'm still fleshing out a name, but I think it'll be easy to come up with 25 garments for it, with that idea in mind.

Here are my short pre-waistband and pre-hem. An heck yeah, they have pockets.

I thought our poster for the fashion show was crazy cute. One of my friends in the production class is gonna give me one of those posters!

Here's a close up of the hem on my shorts. That thread looks so great on the fabric!!

And I really dug my outfit. I got this dress for myself for my birthday but hadn't worn it yet. 

Till next time! Cheers. 

Edit: I got my first 3 stylebooks back today and got 100% on all 3!!! I also finished my shorts and got a 95% on those! Annnddddddd I finished my sample book in the nick of time. I think I'm only gonna get a B on that one though.
