Monday our enterprise lecture....9am..... not very happy people kept turning up half way through and we started half an hour late because none had been given the right times!
anyway. the enterprise lecture was all about pest

• politics


• economics


• society


• technology

and how this all had to be taken very seriously when thinking about where, when and how your setting your business up!

on the whole this was very helpfull as we have our 'creating our business' thing to think about and all this will be helpfull.

for application of design this week we needed to make our garment, this was difficult. i had my flats and i knew what i was going to be making....my skirt.

the difficult part was making the pattern, as i wanted to create a skirt with curved seams i had to take this into consideration when pattern cutting i also had to think about where i would put the zip.....preferably out of sight for this market level and how it would all fit together to hide seams and piping. i made the pattern on Wednesday and i had made the toil bu Thursday afternoon but by trying to hide a side seam i had to completely change part of the pattern and i also had to take into consideration vents. this would allow the wearer to walk in the skirt because it was fitted down the the knees. the fabric i chose was also quite hard to work in and getting the pattern pieces cut right was very difficult. by Friday afternoon when we were supposed to have had our entire garment finished i had some new pattern pieces, after the first skirt bodged. my plan was to stay late all next week in my own time and finish it.
