A New School Year, A New School

I've been think lately about some things I want to do to get ready for school. I need to do some reading for one thing. I really need to brush up on the names of styles and cuts. I couldn't remember the name of a style of shelve, cap shelve. -_- I also should learn some of the popular designers :/ That's not something I've ever been good at. Well I have some books that I have collected over the years and I think I'm going to pick up some back issues of Vogue.

 I've also been wanting to practice making clothing from patterns. I haven't really done that enough, and at some point in my program I know I'll be designing patterns @_@

I have one pattern already, but I'm not sure if it's too complicated to start with :/

I suppose I should just try, I'll do a trail one in broad cloth.
If anyone has an suggests of easy patterns for me to practice with I would love to do.

I have some fashion/jewellery, garden and food photos to edit and post :) That will happen over the next few days hopefully.

A little plug in for me

This year I'm asking for a little money instead of birthday and Christmas presents so that I can make this the best 2 years of fashion school ever!

Some things I'll be purchasing with the money will include:
School books,
Supplies such as fabrics and sewing misc,
Possibly a new desk or work table.

Thank you
