Senior Collection Update
I've been working my tail feather off lately. Sample after sample, design after design.
After awhile you get kinda sick of looking at the same illustrations over and over.
Rough drawings-not finalized
I think I will be happier during the winter break when I can finally start taking my vintage sweaters dyeing them, cutting them up and piecing it all together. Working with my real colors is what I enjoy most. I don't really care too much for just doing samples in similar fabrics- it's like Pho without hot sauce,or a burrito without cheese. lol.
I am hand dyeing vintage sweaters then patchworking them together and layering many fabrics to get the overall inspiration clear. All the knits I dyed myself in my bathtub. lol. Don't tell the laundry mat- but, I used their dryers. Even though dyeing is strictly forbidden there. Shhh.
So everyone knows what a "sample" actually is: Its a mock up of a garment with or without alterations. In comparable fabric to the real fabric (drapes the same, hangs the same, has the same hand and weight). One can do many samples b4 the actual garment is actually perfected.
*note: not the actual fabric, without sleeves and a couple other details. The front back back rain flaps are all interconnected and one piece w/o side side seams.
