I'm really sorry for not posting any new post. I been in a very stressful state and I was not in the right mind to right anything, in other world I experience something that really shaken me. I also got loads of college work to finish plus the Fashion Show that our college had been organized every year was coming up.
During my half term I was meant to continue to manifacture my t-shirt designs but an unforeseen accident happened and ruin the t-shirt that I was meant to do during the half term. This incident shaken me and it was been so long since I left petrified, for days or weeks I could not think clearly and I was stressing about the t-shirt because at that time I did not have enough money to afford a new t-shirt to put my designs on. The hand in day was also the day we go back to college. You think you life is hard and stressful, try solving a problem when your not in your right mind, talk about stress! Anyway, my tutor was really nice and give me time to do another one. I was also lucky to be able to get a t-shirt and do the batik technique (Batik is a process where you used a melted wax for doing a pattern onto the fabric. Reminder the melted wax go throught the fabric so ALWAYS put something inside or underneat the pattern design if you don't want any other fabric to get a wax on it. The image below is a sample that I got from the internet NOT my design.)
It took me 3 days do finish my t-shirt. Actually it was not finish at all. :( I was not able to put a plait stitch onto 2 feather stem (BTW that's one of my designs pattern :}). A plait stitch is like a braid or a heart shape stitch, usually used while doing some embroidery techniques. But I was able to hand it in on day I was assigned to hand my t-shirt in. I been wondering how I can always manage to hand in all my college work in on time even though I'm usually behind with my college work? Anyway it really does not matter I'm just happy I'm always on time with handing my college works in. :} Where was I? Oh right! after that I tried to do my college work, that is the week before the Fashion Show. The Fashion Show was on the 17th and 18th of June 2010. The week of the Fashion Show, everyone was busy with preparing for the event. I was not able to go to the first day we were meant to go to Winsford because I had to do something more important and I recieved permission from my tutor to stay and do what I need to do. The next day, I could not go because the bus did not turn up which really annoyed me since I woke up really early so I wont miss the bus. I could not take the train cause I don't have any money on me. The day of the Fashion Show I got a appointment at 10am and went to the main site of my college for that appointment. Then I went to art department hoping to get the rest of my trip money which was £15 so I could have some money for transport to get to Winsford but they could not release it cause apparently the money was specificly for the title trip on the form. That time I was thinking what is the point of the trip money when you can't get it and why does it have to be specific to the trip title, it is not like the trip our tutors do will always match that trip title. Luckily the head of our course stop by the main site aswell and saw me standing outside out the art department which I was getting paranoid and annoyed with the lads staring at me like I was a rare breed or like they have not seen an Asian before, seriously! Anyway, I got a lift to Winsford, her daugther was gonna be a model and she pick her up after her GCSE exam.
I was backstage during the show because I was helping the model that was assigned to used to change clothes. It kinda felt like I was playing with a barbie, you know when you buy new clothes for the barbie and you to change it one after the other. :] lol. Yes I'm weird, deal with it. :P Anyway, I could not watch the show, but we were meant to watch it the next day but I don't have any money on me that time so was not able to go. :'( Poor me BUT our tutor said it will be posted on blackboard next year. I think, I don't really remember what she said exactly, I am not that good at remembering, lol. BTW, did I mention how tired I was after that show, No? oh let me tell you then, it was so busy and hot backstage and quite stressful, it was insane backstage and after the show I could not even stand outside while I wait for my mum to pick me up and when I got home I was asleep once I lay on my bed.
Then this week I tried to finish my sketchbook which if I remember correctly I did all of the tasks. Yea, I think I done all of it and the samples and annotation of each research and experiments. I was quite surprise to learned that I was actually behind with my sketchbook and I was not rushing at all. I was chilled while doing the rest of my samples but I was still stress with stuff like getting a house. Yes, I am moving out of my parents house to a flat/apartment/house which ever near my college cause I can't afford the bus fair and I no way og getting to college if I dont find a house before September. I also need money for deposit and stuff and I need a better job. But I think I can do the house hunting this coming week or in the beginning of July since is our summer holiday. YAAAAY!!!! :}
This is the reason why I have not made a new entry on my blog for this pass few weeks. Sorry. :/ Oh yea! I got a kitten called Cammie and she is black with darkish brown pattern around her stomach. She is so cute. I know there is no connect to it but I just want to mention it. :} I'm a retard so ignore my randomness, you'll get used to it like everyone else. Lol. :'>
Hmmm... You must be wondering what's the picture above... :) Well that's a skirt... No... A skirt is not that short... :P Well unless you really want a skirt that only reach your hip and show off waaaay to much... :P :D Anyway... We only made a skirt that reach around the hip line because we are only making a facing which doesn't even reach all the way down to the hem of a skirt... hehe... It save time and fabric... :)

To finish off the facing I done a retaining row... What's that..? :D If you look at the picture below you would see a red thead around the waist like of the skirt... That's a retaining row... :)
