The White Project and Unbridled Update

Hello lovelies! It's been a while and I do feel awful for it however, I have finally completed my first year project - 'The White Project' and have been catching up on some much needed sleep. 35 hours awake isn't any fun.

Here are a few photos from a quick shoot to show off my garment. My gorgeous cousin kindly agreed to model.

 

I'm pretty happy with how these photos have turned out.
Along with a series of images we were asked to submit a short portfolio of some of our best sketchbook pieces:

The first three pages consist of research and design development images. The fourth shows the development of the toile over a few weeks and the fifth features one of the shoot images and a specification drawing - front and back views.
Also featured in the portfolio was a title page, more images from the shoot and a final illustration.

Through-out the project I have learned quite a lot about myself in terms of the way I work - and the fact that I need to learn to spread my work out and not stress!!

I've had to put any Unbridled work to one side for the final push on my project, however tonight I plan on getting back into gear with a little moodboarding and having a look at the first Unbridled pattern!
I hope you're all as excited as I am!!

It's been a while...

Hello folks! It's been a while since my last post, mainly due to making myself quite ill and run down through my uni project - fun times!

I am just about to start making up my garment in the final fabrics and fully intend on starting toiling for Unbridled.
Thought I'd show you guys the pattern I'm going to be using..
 

 This is a gorgeous Jean Hardy Misses Hunt Coat pattern that I can't wait to start on. 
Along with this jacket pattern I also have a whole host of vintage patterns back at the homestead - dresses, skirts, trousers etc.

 In terms of fabrics I have my eye on a few different styles and will be ordering some samples pretty soon, here's a sneak peek...

A series of different tartans and other classic patterns aiming to bring the highest quality at an affordable price! I hope for the jackets to feature a complimenting colour on the collar and pockets along with a beautiful lining.

I'm hoping to have a small range out by the end of this summer and possibly even be printing my own fabrics up using lino cutting and printing techniques.

Unbridled.

Hello lovelies!

I've been going on for ages about starting a fashion blog and made it one of my 2014 goals.
I am a Fashion Design student at Nottingham Trent University so this will double up as showing off bits of my work too.

I have a personal Instagram account, feel free to follow me: @ink__heart

I'm very new to this whole blogging lark so please bear with me!
I hope to keep you interested and updated with all things fashion based going on in my life!

Big love,

Samantha
