The end

This is our final post of the blog. This is the end and the final product of the whole blog. Between these few weeks I have created not only a product but also a knowledge of a world that I had little knowledge of. I started out by wanting to make two summer dress by my own hand and I did but this has also help me to appreciate what I make. As I finished this last dress this weekend I had to make of point of showing everyone my final product and telling everyone. I have this new sense of pride in myself with myself. I feel a connection with my work and I like the feeling knowing that I made these two dress that I can use. I made them from fabric that i choose. Then week by week I began to construct what now are two dress. With these different dresses I used a pattern for the first one. This process was very fast and annoying. I only say annoying because I had to follow steps and had to read for each step. It lacked my inspiration and did not have me in it. The second dress the pattern was created by me. I had to research the proper way of measuring a person and completing a pattern piece. As soon as I created the the pattern piece the process of construction went by very fast. With the help of technology I was able to produce a dress more efficiently. Although I had help with the making the dress it still allows me to enjoy what I made and I still have this sense of pride.

New Craft

So as the class knows last week I got engaged. So in the process I got a ton of pictures that his brother had taken of the proposal and his mother of the whole weekend. This week I decided that I would start a scrap book. This is a very different route than making clothing, but in my first blog I talked about making something that could use for a long time. In this case the scrap book would work out very well a memory keeper. This process is very time consuming. I need to first buy the scrap book I would use then I needed to get the little pieces and paper that would bring the book together.
This item is a unnecessary item that i do not need to have but I very much want to have for the future. This item will tell the story of the past that many people would want to hear. This would be consider fancy work in clothing. I added a lot of detail and time to this project. This was a very important time to my life.

One down One to go!

This past week I finished one dress. This dress is white and I used a pattern to complete it. This dress was very easy to make. I did not have to come up with my own ideas or sizes. All I did was decide what size I needed to make and then cut out pattern then fabric. Then I followed the step by step directions. This was an easy process with not much thinking. I did not spend much time putting this dress together because the biggest part was already taken care of. This week will spend a lot more time because i have to finish measuring my top part of my dress. Having the pattern done already is worth the cost of not having it done. Pattern pieces are about 4 to t0 dollars. The price for of the pattern pieces is worth the hours one saves in the end process. The only down fall I can point out is the fact that the dress does not 100 percent fit my body. Yet with a few modification I can get to better fit my body.
