Beach Wrap (Clothes Design Class)

My clothes design class finished in May but, I waited a bit to do a post on my last two projects there. It was an awesome class! We had a mini fashion show at the end for all us girls to show off what we had made. From the title you are guessing I made a beach wrap.Yep! After I made the tank top I had some knit leftover so, with that rectangle I made a beach wrap! Basically, I added velcro and added a jean star applique patch! This isn't a tutorial so I won't go into detail but, if you want a tutorial let me know! The patch looks 10x better than in the photo though! Oh, and did I mention it can be a: beach wrap, skirt, shawl, and beach blanket?! Here are the pictures(and, yes those are the jean shorts!): 

Finished Shorts (Clothes Design Class)

   Hello! I finished the pair of shorts I talked about and here are the pictures. I cut the pair of jeans using a measuring tape to measure how long I wanted and a binder so I could get the line straight. Then I used Crayola fabric markers to make designs around the pockets and used an iron like the package says to set the designs. I made a sash and put dots on it and ironed that too. Then I used magenta thread and a straight stitch around the bottoms of the shorts so they would only fray up to the stitch. That was it! What do you think?

Finished Shirt (Clothes Design Class)

Hello!

I finished the top I was working on last week that is made out of knit fabric and here are the pictures! I think it turned out great. I looks really good with a wide belt over it. My favourite part of making this was that I learned how to make patterns for tops.

   I also made a smaller version for my Barbie because I had extra fabric. I know that I'm a tiny little bit old to play with Barbies but they make really good clothes models if you have an idea you want to try out but you don't want to use a whole lot of fabric. I also made a dress for my Barbie using the same idea from the shirt only making it long enough to be a dress.

More Clothes Design Class

Hello!

I finished the shirt that I was making. (pictures coming soon!) Now I want to make a pair of jean shorts. Not from scratch! I have an old pair of jeans from Old Navy that are kind of baggy but would look fine as shorts. Here is what they look like now. I will post picture when they are done. I also picked up these markers from a yard sale about a year ago for about a dollar and I think I might use them. What do you think?

My Clothes Design Class

Hello!
I have mentioned before that I am taking a clothes design class. I am making a shirt and I thought I would show how the teacher and I are doing it. I am not done it yet so the rest of the steps aren't done yet.

1. I drew what I wanted my top to look like. I'm not sure if I will do the purple sash.

2. Then my teacher and I did some measuring and cut a pattern.

3. I used chalk to go around the pattern twice. On the second one I made the neck straight across instead of the neck on the front piece.

4. Then I pinned both sides together up to the arm hole.

That's as far as I got so far.

If you put a blog button on your blog please tell me so I can come see it!
