Sewing Room Inspiration

So I've been a little MIA. I could go on with the excuses but I shall leave it at that I've been seriously swamped with my third and final year of study. 

I have a few exciting projects and images to share with you, which I shall reveal in another post. I've had another fashion column and article published in a magazine I write for and I'm on the committee for the Townsville Fashion Festival debuting on October 25th-27th, 2012. I will be producing a collection for this, so busy times are ahead. 

On another topic I'm also doing work experience with the amazing Katelyn Aslett a local designer and artist who is internationally successful and sells her beautiful garments worldwide. Check her out amazing work here. 

  By becoming involved with the Fashion Festival and working with Katelyn allows me to be completely immersed in a genre I love. 

On other news, the creation of my very own production/sewing studio is well on its way, with the walls just needing to be finished and an aircon installed ect ect. Then begins the glorious task of decorating it into a unique inspirational space. I've been perusing through imagery of sewing rooms and here are a few of my favourites...

The wooden boxes are a brilliant storage and decor idea.

Clipboards with inspirational quotes.

Bright colours and space efficient shelves.

I love the idea of a desk in the middle of the room, ideal for pattern making as well as an extra storage space.

I need to start organizing all my cottons like this, I can never find the colour I need.

Mood boards filled with beautiful imagery will cover the walls of my new space.

I bought a tripod today, so I can finally do outfit posts again! It's too hard to organize another person to capture them at the moment, so self timer and I will become great friends ;)

Check back in soon friends,

New Year Resolutions

Although we're a little into January, I thought it was time to reflect on the past year and set myself some goals for this upcoming one. 

2012: I envision as a year of productivity and hard work. I will be finishing my final year at university and will finally have a degree ready to enter the world with. Big changes are ahead and I hope to share it with the people I care about and continue to have them all in my life. All in all, I'm quite excited and slightly nervous for what is yet to come!

Here is some artwork that I've been creating for the past half hour, photoshop is so much fun to play with!

1. To continue eating healthy and exercising, I need to get more of a routine and to stop snacking on chocolates and lollies, (well at least not as often).

2. Study harder with more structure and to improve my GPA (Grade Point Average).

3. Do this. 

4. Spend more time sharing blissful moments with friends and forget my worries.

5. Listen to this.

6. Improve my fashion design portfolio and spend more time sewing and remembering how happy it used to make me.

7. Spend more time cooking delicious meals for mum and myself.

8. Spend more time taking in the scenery and breathing in fresh air. 

9. Drink more coffee instead of energy drinks to keep me awake on those long studious nights.

And most of all to enjoy this year and to keep sharing regularly with you all <3
