Having just finished our
Concepts in Context (CIC) project working on Battle For The Winds, I will now
begin the Self Directed Project (SDP) that will last until the end of this
academic year. This SDP unit is aimed to develop our own interests as costume
makers/designers and begin our personal and professional development.
For this unit I have chosen
the Costume Store Project where we will follow existing patterns to create a
range of garments for the university’s own costume hire store. It is aimed to run
as a professional workroom where we will follow the guidance of a tutor to
improve and perfect our sewing skills. We will be expected to overcome problem
solving as a team but also independently and take responsibility for our own
time management.
From our previous CIC unit we
produced costumes towards Battle of the Winds for the Olympic opening
ceremonies in Weymouth this summer. I was given the design of 'The Conductor' for
the county Somerset. The design is an Edwardian military suit with decoration
inspired by various musical instruments. As I was unable to finish lining the
jacket I am using the first two weeks of this SDP unit to complete this, giving
me extra time to ensure all my finishing’s are correct and neatly done. With
the jacket being doubled breasted, having a box pleat and facing means these
are areas I will need to focus on. Firstly I will need to mark and sew my
buttonholes into place and then use my tutors advise for the lining so I can
then begin my independent work to finishing the garment correctly.
As I only have two weeks to
complete my jacket means I will need to draw up a work plan so I am clear of
what needs to be done but that also fits around other projects I am involved in
outside of the course.
To do for Wednesday:
- - Complete
learning agreement.
- - Produce
a work plan.
- - Mark and
sew buttonholes onto jacket front.
- - Sit down
with my tutor to discuss how I will line my jacket.
