Blog #10b – Moodboard (fabrics)

Although I really wanted to go for that bowling alley floor vibe with that one fabric I found, I scrolled on Pinterest for ages searching for photos far and wide, the 90s, 80s, roller-skating rink pics, arcades. Pinterest just wasn’t serving. Something crucial was also lacking, jeans. There wasn’t a jean material in the classroom I […]

Blog #9c – Doll Pants

I managed to finish the pants last week (plus over the weekend for finishing touches, still not sure if I like them but my client does, and that’s all that matters). I sewed the pant sides together, hemmed, and sewed inner legs together. I had to slipstitch the front side of the waist-band so the […]

Blog #8c – Doll Pants

Last week, shockingly, I did manage to fulfill my goals (and then some) that I set at the beginning of the week. I’ve sewn the waist bands for both front and back of the pants. I think I just have to put the pant sides together and hem the ends. I used a safety pin […]

I asked my client for a scenario or situation they envision themselves wearing the pair of pants; they went with a sleepover, just a small one. Paired with a large casual […]

Blog #4b – Moodboard

I’ll admit that even though I haven’t finished my apron, I have gotten started a bit with the moodboard. I believe it was supposed to be on our ‘lab coats’ but I saw this fabric and it instantaneously sparked an idea in my mind. I saw this fabric the first day and thought “bowling allay […]

Blog #3a – Apron

Hopefully this will be my last week working on aprons, fingers crossed, I’d like to start working on my mood board. Last week I finished working on my straps and hemming the pockets (sewed 1/8 of the pocket onto the side). This whole time I’ve been using green and purple-silvery thread, for sewing the green […]
