This weekend was pretty good, i went and saw Pendulum in Brixtons Carling Acadamy which was brilliant! I was also able to catch up with some friends from back home, which was great as well! I also finished my current project, which was called 'Necessary, Unusual and Beautiful'. I based mine on the philosophy 'Tailored Elegance', where i designed a beige/camel coloured trench coat, with a wrap round white shirt and high-waisted black trousers.
This week consists of completing projects and my pattern cutting and garment construction folder. I also have to finish making my shirt and any un-finished ict work.
I have enjoyed my first term at AIB, and have learnt many new skills in my new course. I particularly enjoy pattern cutting and construction, as i think that design is my weak point. I am looking forward to starting the new term after Christmas!

London 1/12/08
Its been a while since my last post! However we had our second London trip last monday, which was fun! We first stopped off at the V&A Museum in Kensington, to look at the Sports V Fashion exhibition, which was very interesting. There were many displays of various types of sportswear garments, designed by a wide range of designers. Items included hoodies, tracksuits, skirts, dresses, surfboards and trainers. My favourite piece was the Chanel surfboard and i also found their fishing kit amazing as well. We spent about 2hours in the V&A, and after that Steph, Emily and myself went and grabbed some lunch from Pret A Manger. We carried on walking down the road which the V&A is located on, past Hyde Park, Harrods, Leicester Square and finishing off at Covent Garden. We stopped off at many shops on our way to Covent Garden, including the famous Harrods! I left London at around 4pm as i went home for a couple of days!
