  • Level 3 M10 Fashion Accessory

    The design brief was for fine lace shawls for the bridesmaids at the student’s daughter’s wedding.  This made the design development side of things a lot more focussed than usual.     Her past two assignments were a Scottish seascape inspired short-row shape striped cushion (Jamiesons now sell the pattern for this) and a tortoise inspired Fairisle technique alpaca…

  • Design progression work for Fashion Accessory

    I usually wait & post the design work along with the finished item but I thought this lovely assignment would brighten up a winters day.  The design brief is for a hat for an 18 month old boy and the inspiration is from a Harry Potter story.   The syllabus asks for variation in styles…
