.The pressure is on. I finish college in under 2 weeks! I will hopefully be done on time, I just have to finish my garments. I'm making 2 dresses, a shirt and trousers. Here are a few of my fashion illustrations from my sketchbook:
I have never screen printed before this project but it was something I really wanted to learn so Dean showed me how one afternoon and I plan to use it on my final garments.
(first ever screen print!)
I had some issues with deciding what colour I wanted to screen print in. I wanted the garments to be monochrome with one accent colour. I started off using black which worked really well but didn't add any thing extra to the garments. I experimented with a light grey (did not work!), a sort of burgandy colour (too boring) and eventually settled on a purple I mixed up. The grey suiting I bought for the trousers and dress has purple threads running through it so I thought the colours really went well.
Of course I've stitched my street names into it too so I've gotten my words in.
I have had a slight crisis since my last update. I planned to laser cut leatherette for the shirt and dress I am making but when I phoned the DCA to book in the laser cutter was booked straight through to the 17th May (my final deadline is the11th). After crying my eyes out my tutor, Claire, pointed me in the direction of Jane, who runs LaserFlair in Fife, and I've planned to meet her on the 3rd! So hopefully all will be ok!
