Steampunk Jacket

Before Christmas I started a brief, Introduction to Fashion, where I had to research a subculture, create 50 designs and manufacture a top. We took a break from this brief so we could learn a bit more pattern cutting skills. Now we have had a few more weeks learning about the construction of a garment, we can continue.  

I chose this design because I thought it would challenge me but at the same time be able to finish it in time for the deadline. 



I've constructed the toile and only had to change a few things. I made the sleeves more fitted and added buttons to the cuff of the sleeves. 
We can hand in just the toile but I have time to make it out of fabric. This way I can sell it on my Etsy shop. 


Frozen Dress


I wanted to make my little cousin a Disney dress for christmasF. Frozen is very popular at the moment, so I decided to make the Elsa dress from the film.
