overall so far this project has been the best challenge so far as it has not only challenged me to complete the pattern pieces which is not my strong point but in doing this it has improved my skills and my knowledge. I have enjoyed this project and hope that my construction skills create the look and style of the garments that i hope to create.

the final materials for my garments are 100% bamboo jersey for the top and the trousers were meant to be made out of 100% silk but unfortunately i could not perches it and had to buy 100% linen. I would prefer the silk as it is softer than linen but the linen comes pre dyed in and eco friendly way to the colours i want.

when i was researching into eco fabric i came across 2 companies the first being eco earth and the second Ada & Ina to go to there web pages follow the web addresses.

http://www.ecoearthfabrics.com/

these are great companies and they have a great range in colours and fabrics.

These are the companies i am using to get fabric for my final garments.

Review of last term

Last term we started are design brief in which we had total freedom to what theme we wanted are projects to work from. one of the criteria's was to look at ethical and sustainable fashion, which i find a fascinating subject. when looking into this subject i found a comment quoting ' to make man-made fabrics such as nylon and polyester creates more harmful gases to the ozone layer than running a car. This got me thinking on what damage was being caused by this and what knock on effect this would have on us. once completing some research i decided to use as a theme the melting ice caps as it is not only one of the biggest problems being caused but also the biggest problem with the biggest knock on effect as it not only threatens animal life's but also human. While looking at this area of the world i chose my colour pallet of whites to blues, greens to aquas. I have enjoyed looking at this subject because i feel very strongly on ethical and sustainable fashion because if we don't start to do something then there won't be fashion in the future.

During this term we have also looked at a new subject called Lectra. I enjoyed this programme because i felt that before pattern cutting has not been a strong subject of mine but seeing it in a computerised form has helped not only my understanding of this subject but also my self evaluating skills in this project. I was proud of my result for this project and look forward to using it in future projects.

overall I feel that not only have the skills i already poses have improved greatly but also my knowledge and my written skills and i'm am glad to of made this progress as written skills is what i struggle with most.
