Highlight of the Week

This week has been both eh and super great. Wednesday was AMAZING! I love my teacher. She has been such an inspiration and she inadvertently motivates me. I definitely look up to her. I actually enjoy going to class now.

Last Friday, she was able to pull me out of a dark place in my mind (I have anxiety disorders). I'm a private person so crying in front of someone due to mental illness is a big no-no in my mind. She was one of the lucky rare to see that side of me. We got to talking and I find out she loves fashion! No wonder she has a great fashion sense.

Since the beginning of the quarter, I really only wore my homemade clothes for my fashion classes. I liked wearing lazy clothes (aka jeans or sweats with a hoodie) since I only have one class that day and I generally go straight home. On Tuesday, I decided I would start wearing more homemade stuff to my odd days class. I wore overalls (at least I call them overalls, the pattern calls them a jumpsuit) I made from a vintage 70's pattern. Let's just say I love the satisfaction of knowing that people appreciate homemade clothes.  

That wasn't the only thing to happen though! We talked afterwards and she wants to put me in the school magazine. It's gonna showcase student work and I'm sure it helps to promote artists. We're not sure what we're gonna do. I'm up for anything.  



I drew these sketches yesterday in between classes:

Odette Cosplay - Over Dress
Odette cosplay - Underthings


The outside dress will be comprised of silk in Charmeuse, Dupioni, and Chiffon. It's going to have plenty of texture and shine. Either this weekend or during the week, I will be doing my final corset. I just got 14" long zip ties so now I can properly do boning.

Til next time,
~Manda~

Who is this crazy sewer?

Hello blog readers! Welcome to the crazy ramblings of a fashionista college student. This here blog I plan to post about college life, my sewing projects, my crafts, and my business. A little about me: My name is Manda and I'm almost the big 3-0! Boy I feel old! Everyone thinks I'm somewhere between 18 and 24 when they first see me. I'm currently working on my associate degree focusing on Fashion Marketing. I plan on transferring to a university in my state once I'm done at my community college. I want to focus on apparel and textiles. My ultimate goal in life is to become a costume designer tho the textile industry might be a close second. When it comes to sewing, I do mostly clothes. I have a very large collection of vintage patterns most of which are from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. One of my goals this year is to learn how to draft and make custom patterns. My crafting adventures include making jewelry, knitting, crochet, and spinning. I do own my own business and I

Exciting news!

I got a job!   Unfortunately, it is not fashion based, but it is animal related and it's money. It's been almost 5 months since I've had a job (I no longer wanted to be a CNA) so when I got a message about someone needing farm help, I jumped at the chance. Today was my first day and it was kind of intense. I had to relearn how to milk a goat and managed to get a bit too much milk on me. I almost had a panic attack going up a hill that had a patch of ice. I probably won't be doing too much this weekend or next week due to a snow storm coming. I took this screenshot at around noon and I swear the app has been changing every couple hours. We're expected to get around 8-9 inches this weekend. Might not have school next week! . . . Speaking of school, I had my styling midterm today (I also passed the exam we did last week). I was worried I'd do bad, but my "client" and my teacher both loved it so yay. For the project, we had to partner up
