starting the design process


So we've just got back to school after what seams like a week of holidays (it was actually more like 7 i think) and we've been given a brief with 2 weeks to complete. 8 lessons. 48 hours. I don't even know how to sew with knit fabrics. But i'm really interested in bathers so this should be good.

First of all we learn. We make ill fitting leotards out of poo brown marle that the kids at a certain apparel store would lose their quarters for. But the learning process has worked and know we all know how to bind, coverstitch, elasticise and overlock our knit fabric.

After reading all the new magazines in the library that came in over the holidays, I'm ready to start the design process. It's one piece and it's black. Sweet. There's 2 things i don't have to think about. I'm thinking shoulder pads and I'm sure most people are as well because they're pretty happenin.
