50's dresses

Sources: Topshop and So Vintage Patterns

I have been working on a project called "50's 'Summer Loving'". The name probably gives it away, but I have been required to create a 50's style dress in 4 weeks. 2 weeks of research and designing and 2 weeks of construction patterns and sewing it.

These pics are a part of my inspiration, a few traditional old fashioned ones, where I had to focus of the silhouette and the neckline. And as the 50's style dress in very in and on trend at the moment, I have picked a few out, to show that the industry always goes back in time to get inspiration. What comes around goes around.

I actually really like the yellow dress and on the other hand, not really, don't really fancy the lace. Any thought?

Today I chose my final design and next week I'll be making the pattern for it!

When the world turns upside down

1. When you get a nice message from Julie saying, check out the blog! The girl hasn't been blogging for ages, and bam the layout has been changed... again! Seriously we haven't even had the blog for a year and how many times has it changes? Oh well at least she did a good job! ;)
2. When you offered to take your cousin to the dentist. And while waiting for her on the High Street, where you have put all your things down in the meanwhile, to rest the poor shoulders and arms. See her, grab supposedly all your things up, realize 10 minutes later that you DIDN'T pick up your camera, run down and BAM it's gone! Why Hannah why?
3. I'm full of adventures so after the dentist I go down to the police station and file my camera as lost property...
4. When you have to take an exam in reading comprehension in your second language..
5. When you actually finish your shoulder piece for contemporary accessories, but don't have a proper camera to take pictures :( But thank god for phones with camera?
6. When you make this blog post for the second time, because the internet decided to crash!
7. When you realized last week that the battery in your clock doesn't work, but because of habit you wear it and look at it and think why is it 15:30 all the time?? DOH!
8. When you probably know that you should ALWAYS proof read you posts, but just really can't be assed.

So good night and sleep tight out there, see you soon!

I made some cupcakes, so my cousin and I had something nice for our lunch boxes... mmh..

Progress on my soon to become shoulder piece, the FINAL, FINAL deadline is on Tuesday! And I AM going to FINISH it by then. Honestly no worries at all :)

In Digital I'm currently working on building up a portfolio, took some pictures of my window marquette in the photo studio. Personally I think they turned out pretty cool :) What do you think?

I know that you've seen some of these things before. But they have all changed a little bit since the last time. And what has changed here??? I have got light holes in it now! The effect is fantastic! Look at those amazing shadows!

I'm loving it, are you??

Cupcakes are actually not the only thing that I have cooked this week! I also did some homemade pizza with my cousin. It was delicious!

The biggest stress has passed now, all the major projects are being handed in this week... and where there is an end there is a beginning - new projects, more on that later.

Hope you've enjoyed your week so far :)

Performing Arts (CS+CT)

So here is my final collection line-up for the Performing Arts project (in Construction+Contextual), you have already seen the final outcome. And I would love to show you the clothe on the actual Performing Arts students, but I don't want to publish their faces without their consent and honestly I'm a bit boring like that, cause don't really feel like asking them...

So truthfully I didn't continue working on it last night, cause I really just couldn't be bothered, needed some time to relax and reflect over.. well.. homework! What a surprise.

So I heard from Julie - hello Facebook, so the reason why she has been so absent is she really can't figure out how to use photobucket, and of course she wants to upload some pics. So I'll try and explain it to her again, otherwise sorry guys you'll have to wait till I come home for the summer!

Back to homework then!

How has your Saturday been so far? :)

Hard work...

Been working on my final collection line up... Hate doing them, seriously it takes bloody ages to do! So much work for a line-up, those tutors better appreciate it!!

More stuff that takes ages to do. So this is going to be a shouldler piece at some point... Soon, please?? Only have to cover all the grey bits with real leaves... explain later.

In case you were wondering these are trousers, attached the patches yesterday, more hard work and effort, baaah!

Argh see this is what I SHOULD be doing during my holiday, enjoying the summer evenings...

...And the garden. Spent most of the day in front of the computer, trying to finish of my collection line-up, no success though, hm... So after frying my brain most of the day, I decided that is was time to take a break. So watched Barnaby, I know, quite sad.. And then took Mr. Potter with me out into the garden and read for an hour, argh :)

I'm extremely tired no! Britain's Got Talent is in the background, I actually can't see the screen, but hey I can try and listen, while blogging, reading blogs and debating with myself it I should try and finish of my collection line-up now. Really can't be bothered.

To the dear people in Copenhagen hope you have enjoyed Distortion! Not that I have actually ever attended to one before, but it sounds like good fun, maybe in 2 years time when I 'home' for good? Anyone?

It has been a little strange not being home during this half term, been so use to going home, but hey, it has only been 3 days that have been different to normal, cause that's the only days that I go to college. I complain to much, I'll stop now.

Hope you're going to enjoy your weekend! Be out in the free and soak the sun up!

Btw where is Julie these days??? Must send her an email and ask her what she's up too!

May holdiday

Sorry for the quietness, but it is the May half term holiday and I'm spending most of my time either studying or chilling. And to say the least both of them are much needed. I know, studding much need? Really? Hm, yeah unfortunately I have loads to do and it seems as though that every little task takes ages to do.

But tomorrow I'll be going to the woods, with my auntie, cousin and their girl friends we'll be a round 12 girls! It's really quite sad I'll be spending lunchtime with a bunch of 12-year-olds (oh, wait the ones that have turned 13 this year, will get really offended if I call them 12-year-olds!) and their mothers! But hey, I'm sure it'll be great fun to act like a 12-13 year-old. Then back home... and hopefully refreshed and inspired to do some more homework!

Cannot believe this week has gone so fast, erhm yeah I know it's only Wednesday, although only for a few hours more.

Girl trip will with the college girls has been cancelled! I'm so bummed about that, but hey two of them are skin and the other one suddenly found out that she had double booked, and then there's sad little Hannah, who's got a little spare time and money to spend and her friends are in a poor state.

Argh to much self petty. Time to brush me teeth and spend so quality time with Mr. Harry Potter.

Good night world and sleep tight!
