Hmm, so summer time is the best time of year. Only the good old british summer is well, the same as winter really. So this year I thought I had to entertain myself, so set myself the challenge of making something I've never made before. 

So of course I chose an item of clothing...a skirt.
There didnt seem to be any skirts on the market at the moment that really caught my eye. So I searched for some lovely fabric.

This summer I'm really into the bohemian and gypsy type theme. which im going to look at when im back in uni I think. Anyways, thinking about what influences this style I thought about florals and authentic chic.
I found this gorgeous patterned fabric up in Pontypridd and decided to use it. So following a burda pattern I attempted it and this is what I made...

Hey guys,
Im currently looking for any sort of work experience through out textiles. If you know of anyone taking on students for work exp. could you let me know. As i've tried a few companies and designers and am getting nowhere.

I guess its hard at the moment with the current financial and economic situation but it doesnt neccessarily have to be paid work exp.

Also if there are any designers who are willing for me to 'shadow' them for a couple of days then please get in touch. It would be much appriciated.

thanks,

P.s Im constantly looking for work exp. so if you dont reply straight away its fine, i'll still be looking for it in a couple of months time, so get in touch! =D
