Breathe full time

With the last garment for the costume store on hold until next year means a group of us are able to continue working full time on the Breathe project. This extra time allows for us to complete full costumes rather than just creating sections towards a body of work. I feel much happier with this outcome as in the last Battle for the Winds unit I overlapped lining my jacket into this term, so handed in an unfinished garment. Although I knew what was needed to be done it didn't feel right handing over a partially finished piece. This is something that would of happened again as the limited time may not have allowed for both cloaks to be completed. But now the extra time means I can begin looking at other elements for the hunters designs to create as well as finishing both cloaks.


Both designs include shoulder pads made up of tied fabric which is something that is simple but effective, so could be created during an evening Breathe session with volunteers. Also once both cloaks have been sewn I can follow the example created by the design team and produce a viking inspired head-dress. This is an area more exciting as I wont just be focusing on the sewing elements but also getting creative in constructing sections as the horns for the head-dress and being able to paint them etc.
