Epic Failure!

Dear Non-existent Reader(s)!

Man... I epically failed this week. On Tuesday I did draw a design (a swimsuit) but my internet went out before I could finish the post >.< 

The bathing suit has a full cup design with a curved seam that goes across the cups of the top. The top's straps and under band would be a durable stiff lace. Durable enough to give support to larger...assets. The bottoms are low cut bikini style bottoms with a short over-skirt like detail made up of the same durable stiff lace.


Then Wednesday I worked 10 and a half hours babysitting 3 kids and was so exhausted that I just fell asleep before even working on a design. Thursday I worked another 10 and half hour shift of caring for 3 children which included literally walking up and down Queen Anne area in Seattle for about 4 hours with a stroller. I was exhausted... So when I got home I was to tired to do anything. I went out to dinner with my sister and we watched the movie The Goonies then I proceeded to pass out. Friday I only babysat for 3 hours in the morning but I came home and napped on and off all day. Today is Saturday... So far I haven't started any designs yet. I'm hanging out with my sister for a bit but she is going to babysit for a family at 6:00 so after she leave I'll start designing. I'm hoping to try and make up for this weeks epic failures.

This next week I will work harder to keep up with designing everyday!

Designing Daily: Red Tear Dress Sketch

Good Evening Non-existent Reader(s)!

I previously stated I would redraw the dress from my first post. Well I did attempt to redraw the Red Tear dress from last night. I think it looks a little bit better.

Sorry, it looks like it is a bit hard to see. The dress is a sleeveless with a deep scoop neck line with bust and center front darts on the front. There are three layers to skirt the 1st at the length of an ultra mini skirt, the 2nd around mid thigh, and the 3rd just above the knee. Each layer would be made by creating a full circle skirt but for the top two layers it would stop before reaching all the way around (the top should stop about .5 to 1 inch away from where the princess seam line would be and the middle layer would stop about .5 to 1 inch after the princess seam line.)

Well that is all for today! I'll work on another design tomorrow.

A few sketches from projects this year

Hey Non-existent Readers!

I'm still working on some sketches at the moment and I might post them later but for the time being I'm gonna post some of my quick sketches from projects I worked on this year. The final sketches are in storage over the summer. Once school starts again I can try and post the final versions of the designs. 

This is is a part of a project I did for my AutoCAD. We were to create spec packets for 7 designs (two tops, two bottoms, two dresses, and a jacket). This sketch shows a knit jacket that was apart of the collection I made. I did not include this particular skirt, or top, in the collection how ever.

This dress was apart of the designing process from coming up with a dress for my Draping class. I ultimately chose a different dress to create but this was the runner up dress.

I'm going to go back to working on my sketch for tonight. If  it isn't horrible I'll post it.

Designing Daily

Hello Currently Non-existent Readers!

 I am starting this blog to help keep me working consistently on my designing and construction but also to work on the company I one day hope to start! This blog will be the start, the start of the documentation of the progression of an Apparel Design major.

To start off I'll post one of my doodle/sketches that I did just today. 

As you can see it is a REALLY ruff sketch! I drew it in about ... 3mins...colored in about 2mins... so about 5mins total. Tomorrow after work I'll probably try to do a proper drawing of this design.

I'm going to try and create a new design (even if it is just an ugly ruff sketch) every day! And I want to work on pattern making... So I'm going to try and create and pattern and sloper for one of the designs every two weeks. With work I doubt I'll be able to make a pattern and sloper very quickly. But that wont stop me from trying! Wish me luck!

Well, I have work in the AM so this is it for my first official blog entry...sorry its bit of a lame one.
