Manipulating shapes in fabric
The shapes from brown paper were then transalted into three different weights of fabric.
Light - Tulle
Medium- Calico
Heavy- Oil cloth
The result was very different compared to the paper.
Tulle was stiff which was nice as I could create structured designs with it.
Calico draped nicely
and the oil cloth was my favourite as it had the most structure which I like the best.

Knitwear
On the Tuesday we had Liz for knitwear. We learn't many new techniques such as fringing , tassles, how to make fancy yarn , multi yarn , pom poms. how to knit with jersey and also with shredded fabric like cotton.
The day was intense but I really like working with different yarns which I was new to.
My favourite yarn was the fancy wool which you gather three or more wools together and then loop different colors in for a fringy tassled look to the wool.
I decided to use the fancy wool to make my neckpiece/shrug for assessment.
The only thing I would say was it took so long to make the yarn and then I had to knit it also which took plenty of time but I felt the outcome outweighed all of these obstacles and I was glad I used the fancy yarn in the end.

Manipulating shapes on the mannequin
After coming up with an array of diffrernt shapes from our object , we chose two of our favourites and then cut them out in brown paper.
Some shapes were small scale others were larger just to give us a better idea of scale and more variation to design from.
I really enjoyed working on the stand as it was new to me.
I also took loads of photographs of the work which I then used to design garments in my notebook.
Here are some photos of the paper design work.

Begining the Fashion elective
I have decided to use jellyfish as an inspiration for the fashion elective.
Jellyfish appeared in my sensing space project as I was looking at marine life,
I find the jellyfish to be a very interesting creature with many shapes sizes and colors to draw inspiration from.
Here are some photographs I found online .
