It's done, I've completed all my Tailoring City and Guilds work

Back in January when I started this course I never dreamt it would pass so quickly, but here we are at the beginning of December and I've finished it's all packed up, it's labelled and ready to hand in. 

 What shall I do now?

 

My first jacket and skirt, made from some tweed I'd bought a few years ago from a textile mill in Northumberland.  I can't wait to wear them now. I used a speed tailoring method to complete the jacket and applied applique leaves to both jacket and skirt.

This waistcoat is trimmed with a contrasting grey piping and grey pockets, I used the grey fabric to make a pair of trousers to match. When I went shopping in town I found more of the waistcoat fabric in another shop. I bought a second piece to made a new handbag, it's time I had a new handbag.  A project for this month perhaps!


I've learnt a lot of new things this year, studying for this course, and completed files on art and design, fibres and fabrics, techniques and much more, it was not easy there was a lot to do and it was very time consuming.  Anyone about to start this course I would strongly recommend you pace yourself throughout the year, work at it regularly and steadily and you will complete it on time.

Next time, more picture of the other garments, all from my 'Moody Blue and Parallel Lines' theme.
