Well today i have been sketching designs all day! quite enjoyed it until I finally got a mental block. I then made fabric panels for some mini wardrobe doors just the same as the large ones I made for Sarah Davenport to take to Milan as a prototype!

14th April 09
Today the first thing I had to do was carry on looking through magazines for background, makeup, poses etc for the photoshoot coming up for the new collection. The next thing was to save some photos on the computer as different qualities, I enjoyed looking through the photos and am very keen to help with a shoot.
I then had to make some nipple covers/pasties, I loved this it was cutting a round piece of leather, making it into a cone then glueing a string of pearls all the way around it, i'd love to make lots of different pairs!
I then finished the day doing a few design sketches for some evening dresses to go in the boutique.

Today I finally finished Cherry's bra, she came in again to start adding chrystals to it, I wish I could see her perform in it as I spent so long on it. After this I helped Rebecca hand sew some lace on to a wedding dress, more hand sewing! Me and Danni then finished making the chair covers and I used the sewing machine for the first time, they are very similar to the university's. The last thing I did today was look through fashion magazines to find inspiration for a photo shoot coming up which will be very high fashion, I hope i'm still there to help with this!

Today I started hand sewing poppers onto Cherry's bra as she has two pull off round pieces of fabric that when she pulls off reveals flesh coloured fabric to look like skin. When she came in to see how everything was going she tried on the bra and decided it needed another frill on the inside, this meant I had to start repositioning the poppers.
At the end of the day I had to find phone numbers on the net for different company's phone numbers such as harrods, Harvey Nichols etc. I then had to phone these companies and get their women's wear and lingerie buyers names and emails so some event info could be sent to them.

Today my first task was to change the window displays in the boutique and the bridal room with Danni. Yay a chance to get creative! We changed the wedding dress in the bridal room window and changed the corsets on the mannequins in the boutique window. We selected pastel colours to suit spring time.
I then spent the rest of the day hand sewing yet more frills on Cherry's bra...it's nearly finished. Tomorro I hav a big job to do with Danni for an upcoming photo shoot.

I think today has been the longest so far all I have done is go to Wilko's for paint and plant pots for the trees outside the door and hand sew more frills on to Cherry's bra, I also made a plaited strap for a dress that looked pretty. So tired!!!

Monday again! Danni started today, another girl on my course at Derby Uni. We sorted out the ribbon box into colours and sizes, I then took her to show her where Pikes was and bought a zip. We then sorted the lining box, I have sorted a lot of fabric so far I hope they keep it tidy!
We then searched for a fabric sample that Susi wanted for a customer, we couldn't find it anywhere and so rang some companies to check availability on some fabrics. Lastly today we had to choose a fabric to make chair covers for the chairs in the bridal room, we then proceeded to pattern cut the covers, it was quite difficult laying on the patterns making them fit on the fabric. We still need to make the covers though.
