Jacket...

This is my completed jacket. I'm really pleased with the final outcome and feel that the lining and jacket material compliment each other well.

Colour Palette...

This is the inspiration for my final design.

As the designs I came up with were very straight and structured I decided to look at modern architecture and so went to sandbanks in Poole.
This is where I found this house I liked the contrast between the white of the house against the colours and so I based my collection around this house.

Sharp Suits...

For this final project I purchased this book. It looks at the mens suit starting from the 1860s and how it has changed over the years.

Even though I changed my idea halfway through the project from a suit to trousers and a shirt it has still be very useful and got plenty of inspiration from it.

Fabric babyyyy...

I finally got my fabric to make my final design and I am SO excited to get going and make this bad boy!
For the side panel, collar and cuffs I decided to get yellow, blue, green, red and purple. I hope it looks good when it's finished!

Sketchbook...

I am oh so struggling with this sketchbook.
Originally my idea was to do a suit and so quite a bit of my sketchbook is about that however when starting to make our patterns I realised I would struggle to complete a suit in time and so changed my idea to a shirt and trousers which I am extremely happy about but I now need to show this change in my sketchbook I also need to make it far more interesting!! I need to add some colour into my life!!!!

Oh so many things to do...

The hand in for B&M was last week and I am so happy to have that bad boy out of the way.
It was also the Toile Review which went alright but I have several alterations to make which is no suprise as I didn't really ask for help when doing the pattern and putting the trousers and shirt together. Silly me!

However I think I did reasonably well and making them without any help and I am extremely excited to get back and start making it properly!!!
Now I have my sketchbook to worry about!!

Menswear...

I have always had a love for the tailoring side of fashion as I am quite a perfectionist and it's all about accuracy and so i thought that it would be perfect for me.
However menswear is no walk in the park! It's hard! And I didn't really think about this when I decided to do menswear for this project. Although I am enjoying it boy is it stressful!!
