Good Morning!

I'm going to start this blog by telling a bit of myself. Let's start with the basics; my name is Leila and I'm 22 years old woman from Lahti, Finland.
I started a blog (finnish language) few months ago, beacause I started studying the clothing business. I wanted to have some kind of document about my journey.

Now I'm sitting at school and our task is to create a blog. Well because I already have a blog and I have just been wondering what to do, I decide to create same kind of blog than my finnish blog is, BUT in english.

So I want to apologize if I have grammar mistakes or so. I have studied english about 10 years (like everybody here in Finland).


Back to business. In this blog you can follow my school life, and bit of my personal life too.
I want to share my journey in school of clothing business and I hope someone who wants to study clothing, could have ideas and inspiration of my blog. :)


At the first period at school, we made a skirt to ourselves. We was supposted to desing it complitely on our own. Some of our class took a ideas of different kind of fashion magazines. Our own teacher didn't wanted us to try anything too hard, because she wanted us all to succeed. But on the same time our other teacher said we all tried to do too easy skirts. So allmost all of us started to desing new one.
We were not allowed to use fabrics like chiffon, silk, etc.

First we created the skirt from bed sheet fabric. This is what I made:



And it took time, because making pattern was a bit hard. You needed to calculate all your measurements and then calculate a little more. And finally you got to the point where you used a lot of skissors and glue.




After the final fitting of the prototype made of bed sheet fabric, I got the green light to start the REAL dress.
And boy it was hard. The prototype was already taken my nerves. :D
But I was so determinded to made it done!




It was almost done. And all I had to do was finding a perfect orange fabric for the rose.

So... next time I will publish a photo of the finished skirt.


And now I need to go home. I hope you like my blog. :)

To the next time!! xo
