As I'm now on my 5 month long summer holiday I couldn't just sit around doing nothing! So I've decided I'm going to work on my core skills.. pattern drafting, sewing and illustration. I want to sew as much as I can, for fun and for me, the dream is to make a whole new wardrobe of clothes for myself!
So last night this design came into my mind.. a floor length black Jersey dress with extra long sleeves. It's simple, classy and a little bit grungy. I don't work with stretch fabrics, not since A Level Textiles, it's a hard fabric to cut and sew (for me personally). So I want to tackle that and I think this is the dress I want to attempt to master working with Jersey.
I really like this illustration, I just love the black with soft pastel pinks. If you've been following me or checking my Tumblr out (link in the buttons to the right side) you will see my style has gone totally grunge these past few months! So I think this illustration fits in quite well with my new style!
