Back in the studio with Lisa today. She needed some shirts sewn together and the small tribal print on them needed colouring in with fabric pens. I set to work, colouring in the pattern with the different colours she gave me, some the shapes had to be coloured in particular colours, and some of the colours had to be mixed together to create a different colour that Lisa wanted but could not get. I had to make a kind of pattern within the pattern. It was hard to know what she exactly wanted because she was a little vague, but by the time I had finished she seemed really pleased with outcome and gave me the job of french seaming the shirt together. This was quite a tricky job and I was a little scared to do it as this was the final fabric and I didn't want to mess it up. I very carefully started to french seam the shirt together, being sure to check with Lisa I was doing the correct seam. I finished off the shirt and Lisa was pleased with the finished piece.
Lisa had decided over Easter the shoes she would be using for her collection, we had talked about possibly using boots and smart shoes, I suggested Dr Martin shoes could look really good with the collection. However Lisa decided that she would use a plain white trainers to reduce her costs and she would embellish them to link them in with her garments. Each shoe needed to be embellished with neon threads and also a Swedish kind of braid that was made with metal string and neon fabric. Lisa decided this could be done later on and that the garments were priority at this moment.To finish up for the day I ironed some of her pieces before heading home.
