After finishing my Specialist Practice Project at the Arts University College at Bournemouth I am continuing this blog to include my Extended Major Project. This is my last project before graduation and is a theoretical project. I am making two costumes based on children's book illustrations by the artist Sarah Gibb. I will be updating my progress each week, with reflections and evaluations throughout. Anything labelled EMP is relevant to my Extended Major Project

Line Drawings
Shirt
waistcoat
Blouse
Breeches
Breeches Detail
These are line drawings I did of the garments I will be making from the examples provided from the National Theater Hire Department. It was worth the time to sit down and really examine the garments to see how they were put together and finished. I was able to take a few notes as well about things like pocket sizes and hidden pockets or what was top-stitched and what was hand finished. Although I could have just taken lots of photographs I felt like actually drawing them would be more helpful in the long run because I had to really examine them before drawing them instead of just snapping a quick photo and moving on. It also adds pressure to the work I am about to begin seeing the standard to which I am expected to work. It is an exciting beginning.
