Fashion illustration

Because our concept is Mystery/Mirror, I tried describing our design like a woman appears from a mirror.

The dress is still connecting to the mirror surface.

To be honest, painting the mirror frame took a time more than the woman.

Used media:

Pencil

Acrylic colour

Water colour

0.5mm pen

tracing paper

Sewing the dress

I used some new techniques which I learned though making my sewing file. The samples are really helpful.
All notations are in this video as usual.
It is slightly long this time. So, please have a nice cuppa, and enjoy!

Sewing File 2

There are more sewing samples here which I have done so far.
All details (needle size, stitch length and thread info) are in my actual sewing file.
I will add some more until the deadline.

Technical drawing sheet 2

I add design illustration and small pattern illustration to my technical drawing sheet.
I used Photoshop to put colour in it.
I also scanned the actual fabric and used it to show the pattern.

Fabrics and trimming shops in London

We went some more fabrics and trimming shops in London.
Adding more Shepherd Bush, Edgware, Hackney and Victoria.

Technical drawing

I have learned how to draw technical drawing from this book in last Christmas holiday.
This book is very easy and well explained, I will recommend somebody who wants to study it.
I also practised with Adobe Illustrator and it was very fun!

So these are my hand drawing ones.
I used proper fine pens (uni, pin, 0.5, 0.1).

B,Szkutnicka (2010). Technical Drawing for Fashion.

London. Central Saint Martins Book Creation

And this is one with Illustrator.
Both are almost same but computer ones have much more clean lines.
Usually we do not have to draw side, but this design has details on sides so I drew it as well.

The Longest Day in March

I showed my first toile to tutors on Thursday and we found many 'not good' parts. The worst thing was hiding some darts. It means I need to remake patterns. And because this module is very short, I had to finish the new toile until tomorrow. So, I got only 24 hours. I thought I cannot sleep tonight...

Making pattern 2

Because one of our group members was absent from school last week, one of us had to make another one for her. I did not mind to make again, so I started making a new design again. Anyway, it is good practise. I am happy to do again.
(After I made this video,I realized I made a mistake about making notch. The way is for home sewing, and for industrial quality, we should make tiny snips as notches).
