Bridget...
critical studies...morning, evening
so after my trip to London, i thought i had got loads of really good shop report research- turns out, maybe not. so having picked up the brief last week, i needed to go over and re-do some bits and pieces ready for this Wednesday. as Angie wanted to see what we had been doing during our independent study time. having seen Angie on the Wednesday, i was doing things the way she wanted them in first year slightly more artistic, this year Angie wanted us to concentrate on flats, design details, fastening and imagine how the garments were put together,and what the difference was between the market levels; so i would have to go back and add more.
but the rest of Wednesday was really good, we had Hugo teaching us how to use the button hole machines again and giving us an introduction too the bar tack machine and other bits and pieces of machinery. it seemed quite simple initially learning how to sew buttons on professionally but making a buttonhole by hand is difficult, really really difficult, and i will hopefully never have to do it again. 
on Thursday we visited the west Yorkshire play house, it was really interesting. being able to see all the different style, shaped collars cuffs and tailoring details really sparked some ideas as to what i could be producing. but on the other hand i managed to leave my sketch book at the play house so will have to go and pick that up another day.
Friday began with an introduction do designing from samples. so we were learning how to design a garment or part of a garment involving button holes and all the different interesting things that can be done with button holes. during the afternoon we were deconstructing a jacket. I had picked up a woman's jacket and this was no way near as interesting as a mans jacket. during the lesson we were drawing details about the jackets and Angie was right, by making us draw the jackets and not just take pictures of them; we all actually paid more attention to the detail and have a better understanding of how a jackets is put together from it.
