Looking back, I don't know what all the fuss was about. Tantrums, tears and all that goes with a room full of teenage girls panicking because their patterns aren't finished and the deadline is hours away.
I don't think we quite knew what the first year of Fashion HND had for us but we found out soon enough.
Here is a look at some of what I achieved throughout 2011-12.
Commercial Design was a module I found really exciting. I loved the analysis of themes and trends. The development of my own was challenging but I produced a good standard of work.
Although manufacture is not my favourite part of course, this project was a great learning experience but far the most stressful!
Excusing the 20+ panels, endless machine screw-ups, a tear and beading this dress was fairly easy to whip up - can you hear the sarcasm?
I am sure at one point I threatened to burn it! Oops.
And finally, graded unit.
I must admit, once over the initial shock of the task in hand, I enjoyed GU 1.
Probably the most satisfying piece of work I've done. Strange how at one point you have no idea what you're doing and then suddenly it all falls into place.
So one year down and another to go.
Wonder what 2012-13 will have in store?
Looking forward to what you are going to achieve this year, and this blog growing :D
ReplyDeleteThe self evaluation part is much more accurate after a summer away from the classroom. You achieved so much last year and I am looking forward to having ' a room full of panicking teenage girls ' again very soon!Well done for starting your blog, it reads well.
