Summer Internship: Day 9 & 10

Well onto week 3 of my internship...ALREADY!  I cannot believe how quickly this experience is going but I am loving every minute of it!  

The last couple days have been busy both in the studio and out.  Yesterday I worked on measuring dimensions of future handbags to go with the collection Christopher is working on.  This required that I trace out the measurements out of pattern paper for the base, straps, etc that will be needed to construct the bag.  So far we have traced and cut the leather pieces.  

I was also given a little bit of side homework; but homework that I am actually excited about:)  The past few days Christopher has been working with me on using my new serger, which is different from a sewing machine in that it is able to stitch and finish an edge in one swift movement.  I have gained some basic knowledge so we are ready to move onto a bigger project!  This is where my homework comes in!  I had to complete some sketches of the look I wanted to complete for my first "serging" project!  I will share the sketches soon:)

ADDITIONALLY!  I am also about finished with a skirt I have been working on!  So to sum up the past few days...sewing, sketching and serging!  Again, pictures will be up this week!

Thank you everyone for following and supporting my blog!  Please let me know future things you guys would like to see!
