Summer

Well hello!

Just blogging to let you know that now summer is here there might be a slightly reduced number of posts. For now I hope that you are enjoying the summer (scottish style ;) ).

Extra Info..

Well the as the evening draws to an end I would just like to tell you why I started this blog. This was originally a brief from college, and would be about promoting Dundee. 

I decided to focus on the beautiful side of the city, because it gets overlooked a lot of the time. 

This blog is also a place where I can show you some of my work that Dundee has inspired me to do, and there will be more coming in the summer. 

And finally that this is a place to let you know what is happening in Dundee creatively, such as the hot spot visits and interviews; I will be putting the other two up later this week. 

And that's all for now,

have a great night and enjoy waking up to Dundee....

Alice Dress!

Well hello again!
I am very excited today as I will be posting about my contribution for the Dundee fashion show this year!

This year we had a module called garment construction, which is the drawing, cutting, and construction of clothing.

Our brief for the fashion this year was to design a dress for our client! Who I am very happy to announce is Alice ! And she is a band member of... The Hazey Janes!!!

They are a band from Dundee who are just fab!
Check out there website for more infor on them.

We met with Alice to discuss what she wanted in a dress and her likes and dislikes.

We then produced a few designs for her to choose. She chose the winner of the dress that she will be wearing on the catwalk this year and she also chose a design from each of us.

I am happy to say that my design was highly commended! (my drawing is below)

After we got our designs back we started to make it. From taking a basic shift dress pattern and turning it into our designs.

We drew,cut and sewed and I am very proud to I have just finished dying my fabric!!

Will post again when my dress is finished!!!!
