... Plan
So the Plan is ... I have a fair May 14th at The Engine Shed is Lincoln, so this is my chance to get my act together and realise if people actually like what I do! The main fear of trying to be independent and attempting to be a designer is if people actually like your work! I mean I know I'm not going to be everyones cup of tea, but I would like to think that I would please my target Market!
So back to the plan!! It started yesterday when I catalogued all of my fabrics, including the scraps. Then I made a rough guestimation of what I could make out of it all! Most of my fabrics are vintage that I have kind of inherited over the years, I've been making things since I can remember, my nan teaching me on an old singer! But that's another story. Today I have designed 3 different dresses and produced the Patterns for 2. I have started embroidering again so I have around 5/6 brooches that need the pin puttin on them and I'm experimenting with doodle embroidery and coming up with some very random, surreal even, designs.
If only I could upload then from my iPhone to here without going on my laptop.
So the big test is dicipline! I have created a weekly plan that I must stick to if I am to get enough stock together to do the fair, I think i'll be working harder on this then I ever did at Uni, also to battle working 9-5 in a job that sucks the soul out of me and a hectic social life and to top it off I'm blessed with an awesome boyfriend that actually wants to spend time with me ... hmmm I may get him sewing for me again like he did when I was at Uni, the good old days!
Keep your eyes on this blog because it will be updated daily with new ideas and thoughts, trend predictions and sketches, random experiments and general ramble, enjoy xx

... Last few days in Lincoln
So i have finished my degree and am on the hunt for jobs! anyone want to give me one that would be amazing! I have decided to do as many things amazing as i can in Lincoln that i haven't done before, or need to repeat because i should have done them more often! The list so far consists of
* going around the cathedral,
* going around Lincoln castle,
* shopping trip to Matalan - just for fun really,
* go back to the cheese society - because it's amazing!!
* see as many people as I can before i never get to see them again.
I only have one more shift in my amazing pub job at ... The Shed... devoted Shedling for 2 ears and now i'm being thrown into the real world of business. I'm thinking of going for a tv presenter job! I don't see why not i'm loud and confident enough to make a fool out of myself on TV lol!
I will be bidding goodbye to my amazing house mates, we've lived together for 2 years now and i will miss everyone of them! All of my amazing fashion friends are going off in the the world of fashion and i wish them all the luck in the world. And as for all my other wonderful uni friends i will miss you ridiculous amounts. I can't wait till Gradutation and Grad ball to see everyone again!!
