Year Three

I start Third Year on Monday. It's a little exciting; I wasn't sure I'd get in. In that I mean I was quite positive but according to the rules of probability, there was a chance I'd be rejected.

I haven't updated since November because I haven't really done anything I want to showcase. My class worked on our Gilles St market project, which was a bit stressful (not even mentioning the ugly clothes), but my team was a lot of fun.

In the holidays I toiled up a pair of trousers for myself, and now I regret not overlocking the seams, because they look quite nice. Hopefully I'll have a nicer photo to show later, but here's one I took upon completion.

I expect I'll make a similar pair in a light cotton; the only problem is that I drew the pattern directly on to the fabric! What a chortle I had when I realised I'd have to unpick the entire toile to get the pattern from it (chortle means to commit self-harm, right?). At the moment they're made of what I can only describe as denim. It's not quite a drill, so I'm hesitant to label it at all. I still have metres of it though.

I'm standing on a couch!


I imagine it will be a while before I can sew anything for myself again.
