Now the school year is almost over, I am really excited to be going home! This past quarter has been the best of the three though. I am finally making some good friends, mostly other fashion students I have met through my Fashion Technology class. It is the first class of the fashion curriculum, when I get to learn all the basic techniques of sewing and make my first garments. So far I have made a skirt and right now I am working on a blouse. The skirt went pretty well, except I ripped a hole in the side when I was serging. Serging is the zig-zag pattern finishing stitch on the inside of seams. The machines at the school are kinda old and tend to grab and eat the fabric a bit. I will post photos soon, its just to late to take them now!
I have been working on fashion drawings a lot recently. I am really pumped from learning how to sew properly and all I want to do all summer is sew! I don't know how far I will get on my own, since I am still a beginner, but I have bought some patterns so we shall see where it takes me!
In other news, the job at Starbucks did not work out. The staff seemed unfriendly and really stressed out all the time, which made me stressed out! Which I really dont need when I have schoolwork to worry about to. Plus, the place was infested with cockroaches, they were EVERYWHERE! And I am sorry, but I cant help but yelp every time a bug crawls over my hand while I am trying to make a drink. Yuck!
Anyway, here are some of my favorite fashion drawings so far, let me know what you think! You can see them bigger at my website on Coroflot.com/Rskelly
