Just a quick blog from me today. I spent this afternoon finishing a toile of a basic pair of trousers, which I've then got to adapt to my own design for a final pair. Tomorrow I'm doing more work on a shirt project which is alongside the trousers- I've completed a toile of this too.
So now I have to seriously think about how I want to change the designs for this shirt/trouser combo. I'm thinking dusty pink shirt with puff sleeves, low neck-line and darts to make it fitted, but I'm still trying to find that extra something to make it different. I'm thinking maybe how I embellish it with buttons etc. could really make the shirt more individual.
Now for the trousers I'm not too sure...maybe a grey fabric, or a dark brown? and I can't decided whether to make a really nice wide-leg trouser, or slim-fit, I'm swaying more towards the wide leg at the moment but I'm pretty sure that could change! Anyway I'm going fabric shopping soon at the market in Derby - there's a really great fabric stall (that's been extended recently yay!) which is where I plan to go.
I've already spotted the shirt fabric, ooh I love fabric shopping I'm actually quite excited! It's like looking through your wardrobe and finding something you forgot you had but once really loved - just rolls and rolls of fabric piled up, I have to admit I spent a while browsing the material last week, and I plan to do that again but come away with something this time!
I'll keep you posted about my final designs for this project.
