LAST DAY SUMMER INTERNSHIP

What words could possibly express the incredible experience I have had this summer?  I have learned more than I could have ever imagined prior to starting my internship.  I knew that fashion was in my future career, but now I have a much better idea of what I want to focus on when continuing school.  So far I have already sent out one application to a design program I am hoping to pursue post graduation spring of 2014.  Until then, I am going to continue practicing the construction, sketching and studying of apparel.

Of course I would not be where I am at right now if it were not for my wonderful mentor, Christopher Straub.

He has spent a large amount of time this summer teaching me skills, techniques, and tricks needed to be a successful fashion designer someday.  I have to say I am very inspired after having had the opportunity to work for such a talented person.  This was THE most amazing internship I could have ever asked for and I will never forget it.

Seeing that it was the last day, we ended by sewing which was perfect:)  I wanted to complete a new bag for the collection so that was the project I worked on!  After it was all finished, I had a new accessory to utilize:

  

Inside I placed a pocket for a new addition from the last bag.  

I made it a bit bigger than the last with longer straps and front aesthetic strapping.  

Concluding my last day as an intern, I am proud of all of the accomplishments that came out during the summer.  I also want to thank you all for the support and enthusiasm throughout; however, this does not mean I am done blogging;)  

Talk to you soon,

Sydnie
