Making My Pattern

Yesterday i started making my full scale pattern which at first i made too short and then i made it longer and it was perfect. I am really happy with my design but needed to work out how i could make it out of tracing paper as the biggest size it came in was A0 so i needed to put in seams and a yoke so that i could make it work.

Final Design

Text with the wood print on the hem and yoke. All made out of tracing paper with the same text going on the cones on the front as well.

PPD: Third Year Assistant Day 2

Today I carried out pretty much the same tasks printing and researching but i got to talk more about how she has found the course and all about the pathways. i am starting to think about pathways but dont feel i know a lot so am looking forward to having a talk about it with our tutors. i feel at the moment my strengths are probably designing and i feel i lack in making but really enjoy making patterns and creating what you have drawn in 2D. When you finish a pattern its such a sense of achievement even working on the stand and then moving it into a pattern and onto full scale with interdisciplinary i felt i had achieved so much. However i do not feel like if given a picture of a piece of clothing that i could just make it which i expected to be able to do. Therefore i would like some more practice and teaching.

Prototype

I played around with paper as i felt my designs were too decorative and i started to think about putting the cones inside one another and experimenting with the whole skirt being a cone.

After doing these experiments i felt much more inspired.

Maurizio Galante

when researching for my interdisciplinary module i came across this designer who i think is incredible he really experiments with the fabrics he uses and creates something contemporary and amazing.

I find this absolutely fascinating as it looks like material and looks so textured. It is just so beautiful.
