What's Going On..

Since i've not posted in a while i thought i'd update you on whats been going on.. I got conditional offers for my two universities of choice, Huddersfield and UCLAN (Preston), now its just deciding which one to choose and make sure i get the grades to reach the offer.

Also i finally started my Final Major Project, I wanted to base mine on something i'm really interested in and something over the top that no one else would think to do. I came up with Prisons, but thought that might be a bit too small of a topic to cover so changed it to Victorian Crime. Ive been looking into Prisons, Capital Punishments, Gang Tattoos, Ripper Street and Jack the Ripper. All these areas have given me a good base of research to do all my deigns. I will post pictures of my sketchbook work, process of making and my final garment.

Charity Shop Hunting..

So this week I decided to look in some charity shop to try finding some bargains.. first shop I went into, Age Concern UK, I found a black floor length dress with gold sparkles for just £5.99.. then I went into British Heart Foundation, and got a gorgeous black velvet cardigan for £2.99 and in the final shop, Cancer Research UK, I got a beautiful purple velvet floor length dress for £10.00! overall I had a rather productive shopping trip and will definitely be doing it a lot more often!
