Summer...

Okay I've been neglecting my blog since college ended.. :(
Have a few projects lined up based on architecture.. something completely different to the rest of my projects so I think it will be more challenging and interesting.
I'm basing it on my Semester one project (which was influenced on an arch) really liked the project and can't wait to start designs :)
I've been knitting away swatches but in really thin woo,l finding really thick yarn is way harder than I imagined :(
I'm also waiting on the book we were told to get to be delivered should be soon :)
Visited Derry recently got fabrics and two different patterns :D A skirt and top, fixing my sewing machine at the moment but once its up and running its sewing time :D

Stripes, stripes, stripes :)

Ok so couldn't get the bus today so heres the pics of my swatches I promised... :)

Stripes, stripes, stripes :)

Its after easter now, and I think I'm still recovering from ranking :O started a new project on stripes.. it's so weird you don't think of things when they're right infront of you but now I'm seeing stripes everywhere :) I'm basing mines on trees and bark so there very organic stripes, huge contrast on my last project ( which was based on antiques ) but I'm liking the whole new approach :)
Its a swatch project so no final line-up or final garment which I'm finding hard to get my head around, I like the idea of working towards a finish piece. This project is helping lots with presentation skills, layouts etc :) 
kinda in a rush have to catch the bus to limerick soon so I cant post pics of some of my swatches right now but tomorrow I'll have them up :)
