 During this time, we created 10 different sketch designs from the texture manipulation samplings and from that 10, 2 of the designs were finalized to be used as our final project. One of my design was chosen for the show. After that, we began doing the manual sketches for the construction of the garment.  Figure 1  Sketches for the design Figure 2  Sketches for the design Figure 3 Sketches for the design Figure 4  Sketches for the design Figure 5  Sketches for the design Figure 6  Sketches for the design For the sketches of my design, I was inspired to do a more armour look or warrior that symbolises connection and strength. By this, I came up with jackets, long coats and others. For me, it looks strong and powerful which gave the impact I was looking for.

 During week 9, after finalizing our 10 different designs in Introduction to Fashion Design classes, we had sat down and started drafting the patterns for the show in July. We discuss with both lecturers and come up with a reasonable design and simplified one.  LOOK 1 Figure 1  I had come up with a vest design for my top as it would be simple and easy to construct. The main attraction would be the texture that is added to the top.  Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 I tried to do the pattern pieces for the garment using the drafted patterns, but the design didn't look as what I wanted to show. So, I had decided to wait and ask advice from Ms. Melina during our next class.  Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 I did a test pattern to make sure the fit was right for model size. During that weekend I had cut out the pattern pieces that I had sketched with an allowance of 1.5 cm all around using scrap fabric that I found at home.  At the end of the week, we went for fabric shopping with Ms.Meli
