Summer Internship: Day 53

I cannot believe it is closing in on an end already with my internship.  Tomorrow is my last day and Wednesday I will be heading back home to start preparing for my senior year of college.  In the beginning of the summer, I had very minimal knowledge when it came to clothing construction.  Looking on the things I have accomplished throughout the internship, I have grown immensely from the starting point.  Skills as well as confidence have developed further with experience and it has made a world of difference.  

However, since my time here is limited, there were some places I wanted to makes visits to before leaving.  One of my future projects will be another bag but one to fit into the themed collections I recently presented through my blog.  I stopped to pick up leather for the base and trim at a place Christopher had introduced me to.  The combination of colors and textures will look like this:

Along with the black leather, I have metallic grays, and ivorys.  The floral print will be the lining and the webbing on the left side will be the straps.

The other place I was introduced to that I absolutely love is S.R. Harris.  I ABSOLUTELY had to go there one more time.  It is safe to say that I am slightly obsessed and am going to be making field trips frequently.  

I normally go in with an idea before shopping, but today I wanted to be spontaneous and let the fabric do the talking.  Season could play a role in what I purchased as fall and winter are approaching.  The first fabric I was captured by was the one below.

My thought is to somehow line this and do some type of outerwear shall.  I found a pattern that will be great with some modifications.

After I found this, I picked out a couple neutral fabrics to make basic tops to go under different tops.  I did a gray and an ivory.

Simple but necessity for any wardrobe!

The last little material I found is very unique in print.

With this one, I pictured doing this for the body of a shirt and doing a black contrast sleeve and neck.  I found a pattern that would allow and even have a different neck style. 

Rather than having a flowing body, I am going to have it fitted.

So these are some of the upcoming projects I am preparing to do!  Just because the internship is finishing does not stop the sewing; it has only begun:)

Thank you all again for the great support this summer!
