The school year is officially out for the summer. College has finished courses, I passed with flying colours and it is now summer where there is time to yourself and no classes that have deadlines and no cap on creativity.
I gotta say, it is weird.
I have finished my creative projects for school. My sewing is all done for classes. My final presentations are over and everything is wrapped up. So my summer begins and it starts with a co-op. I have not been able to find a paid summer position in London sadly, but I think I have found something even more valuable to me. I was approached a few weeks ago by one of my co-workers at Tim Horton’s to ask if I wanted to be a designer for a fashion show. So I said yes.
Last week I got to go to a meet and greet and get to see everybody face to face. I have since gone through my fabric collection to see what I can use and pretty much everything that I am using is coming from my fabric stash (surprise surprise right?) And the designs have been pretty much finalized.
I get to do measurements for my models next week and I can start some serious pattern making. Then on to sewing and putting the whole shebang together!
Aside from that I have put two entries into a competition and continued my search for a summer job that will be paid. I have also been asked if I want to do another fashion show which would go on about a month later. I am seriously considering it, and would be almost disappointed in myself if I didn’t try it.
So off I go to do planning and half-scale try-outs and laundry.
Never forget the laundry!
