Step one = Toile
So ive picked a design with the help of my tutor, taking into consideration my non exisitent construction skills and i'm finally making my toile... its going... ok?
although i think we picked one of my simpler designs (construction wise) im still struggling with the complexity of translating my own design into an actual garment. It's worlds away from creating a garment based on instructions given to me by my tutors or folow the steps in a book. There's so much to think about and im having real trouble with deciding the order in which i construct my pieces. I'm also having to use the cover stitch machine which has become my latest technological foe... but im determined to finish it to a high standard and before my toile review deadline.
Im aso dicovering that sometimes you have to adjuct your initial design once you start making it out of fabric. This is a hard lesson but a necessary one, which will enable me to be better prepared next time i create something.
