DESCRIPTION:
In
this project the costume store I intend to develop my sewing skills to a higher
standard. I will learn new processes of how to put different garments together
and how to finish them, as well as new techniques that I may not off had chance
to do on other projects. I will also develop my time management skills, as I
only have a certain amount of time to make a garment I need to set certain days
outside of set sessions to work on them as well as including breathe and any
other projects I have going on. I will also be working on the breathe project,
to help work on costumes for the breathers in the Olympic opening celebrations
in Weymouth. This will give me the chance to be really creative, as a contrast
alongside the costume store. There will also be a lot of problem solving of how
to create certain things for different elements of each costume, in which
skills I learn within making garments for the costume store may help as well as
trying out other things I may not be able to for my garments.
I
have chosen to do the costume store project as I want to develop my sewing
skills. I also want to gain confidence in making garments which I believe this
project will help me to be. Confident in the way I look at garments and work
out how different garments are put together and then be able to go off and make
it, knowing that the whole garment is put together correctly as well as my
sewing lines, decoration and finishes being neat. Also working on breathe will allow
me as a break from the neatness and accuracy of the costume store garments to
be creative in the way costumes can be made, and be able to develop more into
my own creativeness. This will allow me to work with textiles and work out how
to do things and put things together more creatively than simply stitching
pieces of fabric together.
I
will be producing three garments for the costume store, an Edwardian shirt,
waistcoat or breeches, and a Victorian blouse. As for breathe I will be
producing a body of work that will be more creative, as I will be making parts
of the costumes working on top of the base costume to create accessories and
shapes. Alongside this I will be documenting my progress on my blog for both
costume store and breathe.
