fashion

For my second elective in bytes this year, i chose to do fashion. I have always loved fashion all my life but not designing my own stuff, i always bought my clothes. In this module, we firstly went to the oppe shops on centre road and had to chose a garment to dramatically change the appearance of. I had never done anything like this before so i knew it would be a good experience and good to learn some new things i never thought i could do. I had trouble thinking of what to make so i jut baught a pair of green/khaki coloured jeans that i could modify. It was good i chose them because i think my garment worked very well. I started off by cutting the jeans into shorts and adding materials onto the pockets at the back and at the bottom of the shorts to hang down. Overall i really liked the result of my garment and from this experience i am aspired to make more clothing myelf as i really enjoyed this module. here is a powerpoint on the steps it took to make my garment..[|op shop design.pptx]
 * __summary of module__**

In this module, it wasn't all about being with our peers and working in teams, but also about our own personal learning in the classroom. In fashion it was all about thinking and designing what you want to make youself, something that was unique, so you had to think of what you want to make yourself. I think i learned best by interacting and doing the activities, making my garment, instead of sitting around learning about the techniques on how to design. It was good we got straight into our design work. In bytes, i think it's really good that we do hands on activities like using out creativity and totally changing a piece of clothing.

__**design and creativity**__ This module is based around design and creativity. We didn't just have to actully make our garment, we also had to design it beforehand. We did a brainstorm with lots of branches coming off it including things i could add to my guarment like tie die, beads, fabrics, studs, buttons and many other different and interesting things branching off it. I think my piece was creative as i used different colours and different materials like floral, and lace to add to it. I also thought the studs i put on it was unique. = = =the end result! =

__**evaluation**__ 1. The best part of this module was... actully starting out design. 2. this module could be improved by... having more time to design really amazing, bigger and better things. 3. the skills and knowledge i gained from this module were... how to sew 4. my advice for future students to both enjoy and succeed in this module would be to... get going on your garment as soon as possible!
