Being home is nice but I am of the type that when you would break up for the summer holidays you would think 'yes I need this so badly' and then after a week you want the summer holidays to fly so you can return to school to see your friends and that's how I feel being away from uni but its not a six week break this is a year and I am trying to find things to occupy myself like making bags, dresses and other garments which is good it keeps me in the loop of what I need to practice doing before returning and coming up with a concept for my final project which could make or break me.
But don't let this put you off if your in the same boat as me as I do really enjoy what I do, I have always wanted to be a designer and its fun because you can make what ever you like with all sorts of fun fabrics that set your imagination ablaze coming up with new designs so pick up that pad of paper and that pencil and get yourself away and design to your hearts content as even the smallest mistake can be a starting point for a design.
Talk to you soon fabulous fashionistas xx

Passport troubles
Well I got round to applying for my passport and it has been three weeks and I find out that I need to go and have an interview which is ridiculous because I was born here and have lived here for 20 years and both my parents are English but maybe they just need to see me in person so that they know I'm not lying.

Beware the debit card
OK for students all over the globe I say this as a warning always think before you spend your money its just common sense as I this week spent £146 and I can't be doing that not with a mini collection to make so please think before buying as I don't want you to fall into the same trap.

Portfolio and writing a concept statement
well this week has been a right pain but I shouldn't complain I am getting all the help I need but just not actioning it properly and then on top of that placement I still havent found one and I havent started to build my portfolio until now I really should have done this a lot sooner but from the few pages i have just done i actually like how they look but i shall wait for the feed back session i really hope i find a placement in Preston or in Newcastle but its a matter of luck just got to keep my fingers crossed.
also my tutor reminded me that i have to do a small paragraph that explains my concepts and i really dont know where to start but this website is helping me so for anyone who has trouble writing a description for a concept no matter the subject this could come in handy:

Fabric sourcing
well for this current project I have the opportunity to source my own fabrics I could have gone to London for three days but it would have cost me a bomb so there was no point even though London is the fashion capital and I don't argue that fact, its just that as a student you have to save where you can especially in the fashion courses, but i am going off topic so.. I chose the textile view concept of vanitas (Latin for vanity) so it relates to a heavy embroidered feel with a Tudor/Elizabethan influence but I also feel it goes a bit further back in history like the medieval period with the witch hunts and the magna carta so for designers I look toward the likes of Alexander McQueen's collection inspired by Elizabethan Fashion which has a rich and decadent feel but i also looked into the darker side going down the road of religion and death with my own research by sketching skulls and stained glass windows, architecture, blue prints of churches.
And below here is a spider diagram of what I thought of when I looked into the subject.
