We started to use illustrator last week and by this week i have been able to create some flat drawings with it. its difficult but you can create some really accurate drawings so its worth the effort. Yesterday we also did some flat drawings on paper. i found this was within my comfort zone. drawing is what Im good at especially if the object i am drawing is in front of me. However, next week we will be doing flat drawings of our shirt designs for our Folk project. i have a feeling that Im going to find this more difficult because its quite different from just drawing designs. Im really going to have to think about the technical stuff, i.e. where the seams are, any stitching on show etc. ill have to look at other shirts to help me.
We also went to london this week for fabric sourcing. it was mostly successful but we didn't make it to Goldhawk road. we tried but by the time we found it we had 25 minuets to get back to the coach and had to get 2 tubs to get there! Our group had to source sports and performance fabrics which actually turned out relatively easy to do. We found that because the fabrics we wanted were relatively cheap most of the fabric stores were happy to give us samples . Some of the other groups were finding that they couldn't get the samples they wanted.
The end of last week we had 2 days of pattern cutting. I'm feeling pretty confident with cutting patterns at the moment and am pleased with the work i have produced so far. Its nice to see my folder filling up!
