Weekly Reflection This past week I learned so much. I learned what commuting to school meant. I had to drive myself 35 minutes each way as opposed to a brief walk three minutes across campus. I learned planning meals to fit into my sessions. I learned that I can focus for four hours when it's on something I really enjoy. Though these tasks still require attention and stamina, I am energized by the topic, I don't feel bored, I feel engaged. I realized that I like both sewing and drawing very much. It is hard to choose one over the other, though they are completely different modalities, that required completely different skill sets. I was reminded that having great teachers (as I do at Proctor) matters. This week gave me a glimpse of what the rest of my year and the next few will look like, and I am excited about that.
Wednesday, May 10th Today I met with Carrie in her home studio.We printed off patterns that I collected and montaged earlier that in the week and I learned how to transfer the images to paper and brainstorm variations. We ended up completing three variations each with their own color chord and pattern. We worked from 10:00 to now which is 5:00 and I am off to g street fabrics to search for the fabric I will be using going. Hours logged 7:00
Tuesday, May 16th Today was a big day I worked with Beth from 12:00 to 7:00 we began making last adjustments to the pattern and then finally started cutting and sewing the denim. as we went we were choosing how I wanted to constructed the seems of the pants. I had a lot of fun deciding what type of stitches I would use, I tried so many different stitches which took a while. we got a lot done including the fronts connected by the zipper and the backs aswell. we meet Thursday and Friday I look forward to finishing these pants hopefully I can by Friday. hrs logged 7 Total hrs logged 66
