December a bit closer.

Now that the deadline is over I can release my own creativity! Woop!

I need to make Geri's, Tory's, Josh's and my sisters christmas presents! Need to do christmas fairly cheaply this year so time for the embroidery machine I think..

Geri's christmas pants meant I needed to change the colours on the skull and make it more girly, the design below is the colour scheme i decided on, and the image below that is a scan of the frilly pants i made her..

She loved them!

The grey sweatshirt fabric is a jumper that I made for Josh. I copied the block for this one and then made a narrower one for me.. turns out his was huge so he stole mine! Still need to order some ribbing for the collar, cuff and waistband. I be-friended some first years whilst making these things and one called lucy asked me to make her a jumper.. looks like its time to get organised and start selling some! Need to sort out costing (perhaps ask Angie?) and then sort out the sizing of the jumper block! Need to draw up my own pattern and also draw out my own skull design otherwise ill get done for copyright!

This green quilted satin one is a make-up bag for Tory, katherine saw me making it and now wants one too! Fabulous :)

Below are the pants I made for my sister, the design is on the back and their blakc and frilly. Baically the same as Geri's but a different colour.

Rankin and Alex Box's styling, photoshopped images and fashion/portrait photography have been inspiring me recently and Im going to book the photography studio when I go back. I need to sort out some ideas to do and hopefully find a model other than myself to do stuff. I dont mind, and at least ive had enough practise to know vaguely what to do, but im getting bored of doing my own make-up. Katherine will hopefully help me out!

Decided to make my own christmas cards this year, didnt make that many as I dont tend to bother with them. Made them for my nan, my nan, Ollie, Jonn, Bobby and Vanessa and David this year. Was fun to do, I like cross stitch. It reminds me of being about 9! Made my sister a cross stitch in a frame for her wall, i took inspiration from a website Louie found and recommended to me!

I need to look more at some of these designs (below) and sort out an idea for the River Island photoshoot, I didnt do the pathway A River Island competition as i had too much work to do and i thought it was boring but I think Im going to try and think of an idea for the pathway B competition. We have to alter the garment weve been given, then take a full length photo of the altered garment and styling, but it has to be on a white background. I would much rather do it in an environment as a white background is not very inspiring. We shall see if I can formulate an idea over the christmas holidays!
