I'm finally done with school (again). Haha. But this time the ecstatic feeling is different. It's the feeling of empowerment. Im finally qualified to be a designer. I finally have sufficient knowledge to start a label if I want to.
And of course, what better way to mark my finale than to sew! Spotlight was having their annversary sales. I found 2 gorgeous fabrics which I used to make a blouse and an envelope clutch!
This fabric print is so apt! Birds = freedom. Oh after almost half a year of not drafting, I made many mistakes in this one. Forgot to take in my armhole. I only realised that when I finished the garment. So to salvage the situation in the best way I could, I just lower the armhole by 2cm and try to ease it in. Don't learn. Haha. I can fit my arm in comfortably now but it's still not the best fit. You can see how the fabric is stretching above the bust area. And the next mistake I made: added too much ease at the hip! well I wanted it to be loosely fitted. But I went abit too far. Haha. But I usually wear a sleeveless garment with a jacket so it ain't so bad. Still looks presentable when I wore it with my blue blazer!
And my next work: an envelop clutch. I was so proud of this one. I did it all in 6 hours. It's fully lined and faced on both lining and outer casing. Still it does not have enough structure to it. But I love it. And many people have been complimenting it! Woots!
Well I was planning to practice my drawing that day but the inspiration came! And I just draft and sew the entire day! Couldn't stop! Haha.
Preparation have started for our graduation exhibition in December. I'M JUST SO EXCITED!!! For all who are interested, it's going to be on December 10th. Mark your calendar!
