What a productive Summer 09 ! flat pattern cutting is getting better !!

Seen as im back in year 2 I thought I would just update with what ive been up to over the summer. I made a conscious decision to make sure I addressed my action plan and tackle my weakness....flat pattern cutting! and I can say I really rose to the challenge and i can say i know no longer fear it but i actually really enjoy it!! angie said that once we had got used to it i would start to excite us and it really does now !!
I began with a simple top with volumous sleeves, then I decided to really challenge myslf and tackle a jacket that was the most complicated pattern i have ever had to work out and it came together really well.
I then made a dress out of calico which fitted my sister, so she requested that I make her a prom dress. I remmeber saying to her i will give it a go and see how it goes but not to get her hopes up . I moulaged parts of it but the majority was flat pattern cutting and i can't actually belive how well it turned out.

I'm really proud of what I achieved this summer as I also altered lots of dresses that used to my mums to fit me, masterd zips and also made a cusion!!
