Designs? Colours?

I know my tutor dun like my colours, however I will still use the colours that I like. So now I will simplify my designs to make it more commercial and acceptable for MOST people.



I really dun understand why she cant accept it, why Autumn and Winter must wear black and white? Personally, I do think Winter has a depressed atmosphere around everywhere, black and white are not good enough to cheer people up!!! Every time when I got on tube during Winter, I feel like I am attending someone's funeral -_- How sad is it?

*Gloomy*

Wasting Time?!

Maybe the others will think I was just wasting time to do my own shoes in these busiest time, but for me this process helps lots, from pattern cutting to Lasting.

In the first pattern cutting lesson, I was like "Whats the trimming allowance? Whats the folding edge? Whats the underlay?" -_- I forgot EVERYTHING!! So doing a pair of simple court shoes is really a revision for me.

During the making part, I did did wrong:

1, Should not did the counter part like this again, as it will have wrinkles easily when lasting. Do other piece to go over it.

2, Toe puff (softer and thinner) and stiffener (harder and thicker).

3. Chose leather carefully, some leathers crack easily when closing.

4, Handle the shoe carefully during making as the upper may damage while lasting.

And the most important thing is DO EVERY STEP SLOWLY, CANT RUSH!!!!

My Shoe

Finally I am doing a pair of shoes for myself :) Altho its so simple, everyone says "oh! its your style" haha

Work in Progress

Hate doing patterns ... how come I have decided to do boots, which I avoid doing it in my 1st and 2nd year

Got headache everyday -_-

Nubuck Leather

Finding the best leather for my designs are really like having a treasure hunt game.

Finally I have decided to use Nubuck for my collection, as they look more prefect than suede, and love feeling of young instead of posh.

Yesterday we had an induction for the laser cutting machine, it is much more easier to control as what i had thought. But it just for leather, fabric and card board:)
