Millinery Sample 1

Over the past few weeks I have been making my samples for three of my ten hat designs.  I have recently finished this design and as a result thought it would be a good idea to see what the hat would sit like on a head like figure.  This is the way this hat would actually sit although a real tweed fabric would be used.  Now to continue with my final chosen hat samples and start to make the end result!

Garment Construction Sketchbook Work

One of the pages in my garment construction sketchbook for the "Friller" project.  On this page I focused on the natural ruffles and frills in mushrooms by looking at close ups of them and experimenting with different things that could be representatives of the ruffles/frills.



Garment Construction Skirt Pattern

(Photo 1 - Pattern 1, Photo 2 - Pattern 2)

Working from the theme of "Friller," this is my first skirt block.  It is constructed from five seperate layers on the front with a scalloped waistband and three layers on the back also with the scallop section hanging from the waistband.

I then decided to change the block so that the skirt layers would hang all the way around without stopping at any seams so made one big block.  I am then going to put a zip down the back of the skirt so it can be worn with ease.  Now all that is left to do is to start cutting my fabric!!!
