Short course at CSM

This summer I attended the Central Saint Martins Summer school for Fashion Design for 16-18 year olds and I loved it! I learned a lot over the 5 days and I also now know what I need to do to become a successful designer. These are just a few photos that I took while I was there they are spread out over 3 posts Hope you are all having a lovely summer! More photos from London tomorrow!

Day 1

Force

Overloaded

After a few hectic months I am happily back to blogging! I have really missed doing DWG as it always puts me in a good mood! These are all snaps from a few moments of what has been a very busy few months (this doesn't even show half of what I have been doing!). In the jumble of photos there is my final piece for my GCSE art, my prom, my last day at school, the dress my group made out of plastic bags and newspaper on my induction day for my new sixth form, my sisters 21st birthday party and my trip to the making of Harry Potter!  Have a great weekend! More soon!

TieDye!

Yesterday I had a bit of a tiedying frenzy as my friend hope, my sister and I bought some fabric dye form hobbycraft and started to dye loads for our white t-shirts! Here is how you do it:

To start with you need to buy some white t-shirts, elastic bands and some fabric dye:

Then put the dye in boxes a separate one for each colour:
Remember to wear gloves throughout this process, other wise you will dye your hands!

Spray the t-shirt with water and then pinch the middle or one of the corners of the t-shirt and roll it into a spiral and put elastic bands around so it doesn't come undone:

Then dip it into the colour dye that you want and leave for about 5 minutes:

Put it into a plastic bag and leave over night
Then in the morning unravel your t-shirts and leave them somewhere to dry!

I also did one with bleach on a black t-shirt using the same process!

My tops aren't quite dry yet but when they are I will show you all of my creations!
Enjoy tiedying!

Lots of Love

Aztec Print Dress

I love this dress so much and I stupidly bought it at the end of summer so it was just starting to get cold so I couldn't show its true potential! So I am now a very happy girl as it is nearing summer I can finally give it its first outing!
