I'm sorry I don't have any more photos of the progress! I just started sewing on like crazy; trying fabrics in different places. I was so into it I forgot to take photos! I experimented a lot and took things off; moved around etc.

Progress on my Collection April 26-May 2nd Starts Here

# data[].attributes.headline
I made some definite progress this week but I  got so into the doing that I forgot to document (sorry!) I chose my key fabrics for the front of my garment and cut out sections of them (from their original garments) and began pinning them to my dress form at home. Then I started sewing them together once they were on the dress form. I decided that my 3 main colors would be a golden yellow, earthy browns, and a selection of foresty greens.

The back of my garment - working on in class. I forgot to take a photo of the initial iteration - but the back was not very dynamic so I have hopefully started to improve it!

# data[].attributes.body
The front of my garment after class tonight. It looks better on the dress form! I know where I'm going with it next so that's good- I have lots of piece to add on and extend the garment so it's dress length.

love the contrast between the underlying fabric and the stringy fabric on top. Looks very naturish. perhaps I could try something like this on my dress.

# data[].attributes.body
Love the different lengths of this garment and the fabric flower placement

# data[].attributes.body
love the way a (scarf?) has been attached to the outside of this jacket and at the wrists.

# data[].attributes.body
Love these textures and the overlap of the fabrics.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the way the ribbons look sort of like stems and vines here.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the way the textures here seamlessly interweave. And the use of (jewelry? Beading?) as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Love the colors and textures here. Feels very "spritely" and woody to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Mesh material that I might try and incorporate into the dress and have the flowers attach to/stay inside of. Since class tonight I have purchased more of this online so I'll have more to work with.

# data[].attributes.body
Went to Fabric Place Basement. Managed to not get a fabric but couldn't resist this - might try to alter color and make this look weathered. Could be interesting on the jacket and/or dress

# data[].attributes.body
If it's not too many colors I might try to incorporate this orange lace into one of the garments for my collection. Will have to see.

# data[].attributes.body
failed experiment with so called "fabric paint" I bought online. I liked the pattern of this but wanted to alter the color/try to make it look "earthy" but this paint just kind of stuck on and did not blend. also smells bad. Oh well. Perhaps bits can be retained and used still.

# data[].attributes.body
Might use this dress as a base - or part of it. Want to alter it though - might try dyeing brown to see what happens.

# data[].attributes.body
Jacket base; thinking of removing panels and replacing with different fabrics

# data[].attributes.body
might incorporate this (what is this called?) that I found on a dress. Too flashy though - would have to weather it with tea or something and take off the sequins.

# data[].attributes.body
Frilly moss-like material I found; trim for jacket?

# data[].attributes.body
Love the roughness of this fabric - tree bark aspect of garments.

# data[].attributes.body
Love this color - will feature in the dress and/or the jacket.

# data[].attributes.body
Material one for my dress. Had this for a long time and was waiting to use it - looks mossy.

# data[].attributes.body
Sewed some of my dried flowers onto scraps of clothing from a scarf I had. I felt they looked good at the time but now that I'm looking at them again they seem rather silly. Oh well these can be prototypes.

# data[].attributes.body
I still want to try to incorporate real flowers into my garment, since I really want it to feel like the wearer has "travelled" and been in touch with nature, so I searched for instances of flowers used in clothing and found some cool stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
Side view of this cool neck collar thing with real flowers in it - so funny because a collar is where I'd been imaging the real flowers to go too!

# data[].attributes.body
I could not find any written details on how exactly these flowers are attaches to this garment, but I'm guessing the fabric is sheer and transparent and the flowers are just sewn on?

# data[].attributes.body
I admire how authentically dirty this clothing creator wanted the bottom of this dress to look...

# data[].attributes.body
I like the green overlapping leaf-like fabric pieces on this dress.

# data[].attributes.body
This are a lot of (I assume!) real roses on this dress!

# data[].attributes.body
A cool image I found that I felt fit with my garment collection idea

# data[].attributes.body
Fun dried flower headpiece I like that fits with my theme

# data[].attributes.body
As I was researching dried flowers, which I now realize I'm obsessed with, I found this cool way to display them/turn them into a saveable piece of art.

# data[].attributes.body
Somehow the mind map for this project that I showed last week in class did not make it into any of my uploads last week, so here it is!

Love this jacket - has a "traveller" look to it that I'd love to capture in my garment collection.

Would love to capture the "panels" aspect of this garment into one of mine somehow.

Love this dress. Especially the movement of it and the colors.

I love this color and fabric! Would love this to be my main material for the dress part of my collection. Gold crushed velvet is the fabric.

# data[].attributes.body
Might want to incorporate some tweed into my collection, possibly as part of a jacket. Feels outdoorsy.

# data[].attributes.body
Some color swatches of tones I like for my collection

# data[].attributes.body
A fabric I might use for my garment - I only have a small bit though so maybe as a trim or accessory piece

# data[].attributes.body
Some of my own materials that I might incorporate into my garment - again don't have a lot of these materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Some ribbons I might use and lace

# data[].attributes.body
Would like to capture this feeling with my garments
