Of a good, and not-so-good day.
HELLOOOOO! Here’s the promised entry for my latest project. Well, it’s not actually the latest, the latest project I did was a shirtdress and it’s currently in the laundry. hahah.
This dress was made from a very high quality cotton, it’s quite thick, very durable yet really soft and comfortable to wear. Very easy to sew too. It has six 1-inch pleats on the front, making the front very lose, and 2 darts were sewn, making the back slightly fitted. An invisible zipper was fitted. I wanted to add side pockets but I didn’t have enough fabrics. Oh, did I mention I made the pattern myself, from scratch? ;)
This is a simple bubble dress I made during my last break, but didn’t have the time to update about it. Made out of Japanese cotton. Modified the bodice based on the coffee dress pattern but added the bubble skirt and eliminated the front ruffles. I added two pockets at both side of the dress to make it more fun! :D
This is the dress I made just before the above. It has ruffles on the front, with gathered skirt and back zipper. It uses the same Japanese cotton material, and it’s based on Coffee dress pattern. Although, I altered the skirt to add more volume. :p
Anyhooo, I also did some clothes and shoes inventory and I found clothes that I forgot I had. hahah. There are two pair of shoes that need gluing. zzzzz…. I also got rid of maybe 3 pairs of shoes. Platforms, gold flats and black platform pumps. Goodbye to them. T_T
Most of my shoes. Randomly sorted. There are two pairs that are not shown cause I thought I lost them but they were actually in one of those shoe boxes. -__-”
****************
Gah! I’m so tired now. I spent the last 2 hours and a half scraping dried 3-secs glue that my sister PURPOSELY splashed on my iMac screen. She made me really angry when she stole my shoe boxes, and now, imagine how angry I was, this is the worst thing she’d ever done! Oh, other than my screen, she also glued my medication bottle on the table.
Nice Aida, NICE.
I can’t believe my eyes. I gave her full access to my iMac, and this is how she repay me? What a bitch. This clearly reminds me of why I cried the second (yes, literally the very second) my mum told me that she was pregnant 8 years ago.
It was a 3-secs glue damn it.
The funny thing is, after I yelled at her really badly, and also beat her ass a few times, (she cried, of course) but 15 minutes later, she bumped into me and actually tried to joke with me and laugh like nothing happened.*SIGHHHHHH*
Kids these days.
p.s, for some reason, I’m not convinced that this’s the worse thing she’d done to me. hmm…
p.p.s, today was also good cause I had a great time with someone watching movie and had chocolate iceblended, rasberry ice blended and Krispy Kreme! fuh! hahah ;D
If you wanna take up sewing, Burdastyle is a good place to start.

er.. sketch #001?
I don’t know if I can write anymore. Everytime I write some proper entries, I feel like it’s shit and just leave it like that as drafts. So I thought since I couldn’t write anything, maybe I should post some sketches instead. Plus, it helps to keep me in practice.
It’s been so long since I last sketched, I can barely remember how to hold a pencil.
left: ink right: 4B & 6B pencils.
These two sketches or shit, you can call it whatever you like, is drawn based on photos.
I’ve been meaning to draw a crane. And crane I shall draw. I don’t know why.
A crane…

One down, 2 more to go. Wait, 3.
Okay since the major assignments are done, I’m so happy now and as much as I’m tempted to bitch here, I won’t cause I bitched too much on a few airheads in school so yeah.. enough.
so, ANYWAYS… we submitted our public toilet! wooohoooo! And I’m sooo satisfied with this one, way, way more satisfied than the window display assignment. Some of other groups turned out good, too, like Jason’s and Sean’s. Although there are some that I find of poor and tacky taste or overly designed and immature (wont point out which, but you be the judge), the overall result of the class made the lecturer very happy. PHEW!
The funny thing is, this is an interior design subject which architecture students are taking as an elective yet, the good ones are by architecture students rather than the interior students. No offense, but that’s quite frustrating. We were hoping for a more challenging competitors. I suppose interior students should be better in this area than the architecture kids? oh well.
After all the brainstorming and conceptualization, and all the times spent in the studio until outside, REAL world was totally ignored, here’s the result. :)
Our concept is seashell, basically. Since it’s for National Art Gallery, we wanted to make it more abstract therefore we turned everything into almost sculptural, (you can even call them sculptures if you like), like the sculptural wall, as an abstract form of the coarse and fragmented shells. And the partition is to resemble corals as to make it more ocean feel, functioning as the filter to avoid reflections of the cubicles in the mirrors which can be distracting. Industrialized materials were used instead of organic as to make the whole design more unpredictable. :)

This week in college
October 4, 2009
Isaac, Wayne and me stayed back in studio until 1.20am in the morning to do the window display model.
We took a doll’s head from Cindy (she used the body as the mannequin for hers)
Wayne got bored and he played with the head, he tied her hair into ponytail.
Then I cut her hair.
and turned it into a broom to sweep the model’s floor. haha. Read more >>
