Dissertation Feedback

After a very nervous wait I finally received my dissertation feedback this morning! I am so pleased with my feedback, and was marked just 2% off a 1st grade. I am very happy with my mark and very proud of myself!

I've been pretty busy recently beginning the design development process of my Final Major Project! I have been creating fashion layouts from my drawing, and developing them into koda traces for screens so I can begin sampling. I've also began sampling with embroidery and using some of the gorgeous threads and beads that I received from my sponsor from Hobbycraft. This week I have also spent a lot of time in the dye lab experimenting with dyes and fabrics to create the perfect colours for my collections. I will update you with more photos next week! x
