The Jo Report!

after my meeting today with Jo all i can is its going swell well actually brillian i did some prelimany designs for her and asked for a meeting as to discuss further which 1's she would like me to develop to possibly enter her actually collection it seems promising as she asked me to develop 9 designs !! yay nearly a collection in it's self hahaha but hmmmm time is of the essence but i shall do it non the less hahahaha yet again more to my work load :( but i rele enjoy this and its helping me develop my skills at the same time as being an unmissable oppertunity :)

fantabric

WOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO my fabric came 2 day and ther sooo gd (Y) :D
the neoprene is a bit thicker than i thought but it shud go through the machine easily well hopefully fingers crossed but my neon jersey ribbing is amazing i love it!!! i want it just for a t shirt its amazing i love the colour ohhh i cant wait to actually make it noive digitised most of my pattern pieces well all of jeans and tee so its near the stage of being ready to cut just gotta do my lectra changes and were neally done ohh this is so exciting cant wait for collection time :D:D

appointment

ohhh ive got an appointment with Jo to go few some of my designs and then she can see if im heading in the right dirrection or wat and pick out some that she wants me to develop ohh this is gonna be gd i shall report back with how well it goes

the never ending list !!

ohh blinkin heck i almost 4gots whilst doing all this i have also applied to be a student ambassidor which ive sent the application form off ages ago but gotta prepare for that if i get the oppertunity, ive also done the Beals scholarship grant but just have to find 1 more pic to submit which i think is gonna be of my latest toil...... but will this work load ever lighten :'( it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger

Suits Shane!!

well me an my m8 Shane got talkin and he was like u reckon u cud make me a taylored suit i was like yeah dont see y not so i have also now gained another task to add to the list of making shane a suit! ive told him it wont be for a wile cuz i got alot o work on atm but he then even had the cheek to say i cud make it him 4 his bday but hey i love the dude, i mean my m8s mean everything to me and well 1 good turn deserves another thers a slight prob tho this aint just gonna be a case of block tracing!! i shud go into a lil back ground Shane is a very muscle-y american football player with a scholarship to a academy in america so there is no hope in hell a size 38 " chest is gonne fit the kid, so not only have i gotta majorly adapt the block but also then have a few intimate measuring sessions with him which shall be interesting hahaha mind u it aint exactly nothing i seen before but yeah its gonna involve doing several fitting sessions as well this is fine taylormanship at its finest, plus hes my m8 dont wanna let him down. plus i think this may involve a few chats with Jodie bout several finishe's but hey ive got till june. but shall be good looking 4ward to it ;)

experience's of the work variety

During the New York week off i did a placement in my old 6th form on the sly just because i love helping pple and teaching them new things expanding their horizons and just inspiring them so i thought id make most of it and were i came from and asked the new textiles teacher if i cud cum in and mentor and help the 6th formers out with their studies, she said she'd love me to.......
so i did and i loved every bit of it teaching the kids new techniques and even the teacher haha but i just love textiles its my passion and something i sorely miss and sumtyms wounder am i on the right cours??? hmmm its debateable i do love fashion and its sum thing me and sarah discussed on my interview weather it was the course for me or not but i think it is ive just lost touch with the textiler in me and going back just made me realise how much i did love every bit of it so i think from now on im gonna combine the 2 for next year which is gonna mean major major loss in free time but im willing to do it i miss free hand embroidery embellishing and so much more playing and experimenting with random things like tyvec and creating new things out of fabric but it was a great experience which i loved doing just working and helping out, so wen evs im free and at home im gonna go in an just help them out give up my time see them se how they progressed and just help them more cuz its sumthing i love , plus i said to lucie-the teacher id knock up a few blocks for her which shud be easy done wont take long and its to help out the place that spawned me taught me all i no i kinda owe em :)

!!!!!!!!!!FASHION IS FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!

As we know i had the rediculose idea of neoprene and to actually make this feasable it had to be thin so on my hunt ive found a place with the correct thinness neoprene and it has to be shipped from america and ive also found some ribbings that i needed on that website too, so thought might aswell put it all in 1 package and have it all shipped and delivered to uni but guess the price???????????

BLOODY £185 IVE SPENT ON FRICKEN FABRIC

its more irritating espically as we dont even no if its gonna work but its wat my project was based around so guess kinda have to keep to ideas but it's a fricken lot of dosh for 1 outfit that might not even get shown but hey im a crazy kinda guy, i just dont like ordering fabrics wen i cant physically look at them or feal them get to touch them so they cud even not be the ideal fabrics im looking for but ohhh well fingers crossed hopefully they shud be here by mon if customs hasnt decided to hold them :S fingers crossed not
