So I am super slow at updating, I did these patterns last week and just never got around to taking the pictures off my phone till now. Yikes. I need to get a camera, as of right now I have been using my phone (which takes super tiny pictures) and my 3DS (which is tricky to get pictures off of) in order to photograph my progress, which is why I take so few pictures.
Anyway, I have a few pictures to show you guys the space the college provided me to work on the costumes for the senior thesis play.
The next post I have up will (hopefully) be showing you guys some of the finished pieces, possibly on the actors and actresses.
This is my table in the drafting room. Most of the drama kids use this room to draft floor plans for set design so I am actually the only person using it for costumes at the moment. This means I was given special access to that brown paper there. Aw yes.
This is what I have pinned to the wall next to my work space, it’s all the pattern sketches with measurements on them. I reference them as I go along and draft.
Here we have an example of what one of my pattern pieces look like before I cut it out of the paper completely.
These are all the pieces I drafted that day, it’s two vests worth of patterns for two of the guys in the show. If I am not using this paper to make patterns (or patterns I got off the internet and printed) I generally generate patterns in my room using the school newspaper and tape.
These patterns are all pretty one use in quality, so once I have the garments made I generally discard the patterns.
Well that’s it for now, I will be back soon with more actual pictures of the garments.
Cheers.
