Final period pattern picture for the year

[labricoleuse]

Classes are officially over and many of our students have already left for their summer jobs, but there are a trio of period pattern half-forms in the hallway from their last project, so i thought i'd photograph them and share them

These are fabulous! What a great teacher YOU must be that your students are cranking out stuff like this! Looking at this makes me wish I had gone to school for this 20 years ago (LOL!) but, alas, life took me in a different direction, and I am just a humble hobbiest.

I love your website and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. I love looking at your projects, your students' work and all the helpful tips and tricks you divulge to us "uninitiated"....thanks, and more, more!

Thank you for all the compliments, and i'm so glad you find this blog useful and interesting!

I should clarify though that i only teach the four crafts classes (millinery, dyeing, masks/armor, and decorative arts)--these period pattern classes are taught by the head of our program, Judy Adamson. I started sharing the pix of the period patterning projects because a lot of prospective grads (applicants to the program or folks researching grad schools) come across my blog, and i thought it'd be nice to show more of what the students do than just those in my own courses. And, for people who read it for personal interest, it broadens the scope too beyond just hats-and-shoes-and-etc.! :D

OMG, I want to eat those sleeves, they are so delicious!!

[labricoleuse]

Aren't they excellent? I like thinking about what the flat pattern-piece looks like--with all those tucks it's got to be something like twice as long as a normal arm to start with! :)

god those are gorgeous. I wish there were more costume programs in the Bay Area.

Though I'm envious of you... I miss Chapel Hill so much!
