Failures...

Hello Fellow Bloggers! This week of genius has been exciting and tedious. I ran into some issues this week due to not paying attention to my surroundings.

On Monday i accidentally ruined my skirt that I had recently created. I thought that there was an extra piece of thread hanging from the skirt. So I pulled it and all the thread came undone. All my hard work was ruined. Also, I spilled grape juice on my fabric so I have to go buy some more.

I guess the exciting part was making it. I learned a lot about sewing  and I didn't know there was so many components in sowing. Even though I failed a lot this week I still believe that I made some progress. Now that I know how to do everything, the second attempt is gonna be faster and easier. Check out my blog next week to see my results!

Hello everyone!! This journey of studying and experiencing fashion has been incredible. I have learned so much! I finally got Ashlyn's measurements and my fabric so now I can get started.

I didn't think this topic was gonna be easy but I didn't think it was so complexed. There are so many concepts that go into making clothes. One thing I learned that I didn't know before is that you have to get 4 different measurements on your model such as; her bust, waist, girth, and hips. I only thought you were suppose to measure her hips and upper body part.

Fabric is another obstacle I came across. There was so many different patterns I couldn't choose. And I didn't know if I wanted cotton or a silk fabric. But silk is expensive so I stuck with cotton. Now that I have a better outlook of making clothes, I can finally get started. I will surely keep you guys updated on my progress.

Why did I choose this topic?

When coming to the time to pick a topic for genius hour, I knew exactly what I was gonna do. If you guys have clearly seen what I wear on a daily bases, you can tell that I am totally into fashion. As I say, "Fashion Is my passion!"

Even though I love the fashion world, I was still contemplating on if I should do it or not. I was scared that if I try making my own clothes, I was going to drastically fail. But isn't that what Genius hour is for? Atleast you get to have fun failing because your doing something you truly love. That's the realization I had to come to.

After finally realizing it, I had to get started because I only have like 5 weeks. So this weekend I will finally go an get my fabric and get started!! I will keep everyone updated so keep reading my awesome and wonderful blog!
