Wish September would come sooner.

I haven't been blogging here much 'cos something's been bothering me quite much in my personal life. Anyway! I don't have pictures in this entry cos most of what I'd been doing are sketches. Unlike my project, these sketches don't have a theme, an idea, a purpose, etc. So I don't feel like posting most of it. I've been sketching to keep myself drawing, thinking, and designing. I flip through magazines, look at the details of some designs, learn from them, then put them into my sketches.

Thanks to a recommendation from a very dear friend's girlfriend, I bought a good book to get me started on sewing. It was retailing for $120 approx on Ebay and Kinokuniya. BUT, a random trip to Basheer (most people would know this shop - it's a book/magazine heaven for designing people) saved me half (approx) that price! Awesome place I must say.

Also, I've recently bought my sewing machine! I've decided to go for the old brand Singer. Bought the 7464 model from Courts at $599! Quite a fair bit of savings I must say. And the sales auntie taught me so much about the basics of using a sewing machine. I haven't used it much 'cos schedule's been a little tight these few weeks.

Next up in my schedule is a photo exhibition by my dearest friend. Can't wait for it! So proud of him (:
