Whipper schnapping...

Huh, time to crack the whip- sadly no literally ;P...

To do list:-
1. Sew up garments from previous project - means starting and 3 new ones and completing a fourth. 2 are already done and dusted
2. Complete a full burting at the seams A3 sketchbook for the current project brief based on historical design with a main theme of textile applications- knit, print and embroidery/ adornment.

My new project is influenced by the lovely and typically lizzy styled 1920's fashion design; typically me as it's renowned for it's adrogynous shapes and flattened silhouettes. I intend to focus on the bases for this flattening- the girdles and constraints of the womenswear and little chemises. For this instance I want to bring in my old love for womenswear as I am majorly struggling in Menswear design as I'm constantly told for over-designing- MY.ACTUAL.BAD. and want to try and do nice, flattering menswear but also innovative. GOOD.LUCK.TO.ME. :P
