Today I carried on sewing frills on to Cherry's bra in between though I helped label up more fabric rolls and phoned a chocolate company to find out where an order was. My fingers are now very sore from all the hand sewing! Cherry came in to try the bra on and was happy with it but made a few suggestions, I will carry on with this tomorrow if I get chance but Susi told me tomorrow will be a busy day with preparing for a press day in London on Wednesday. Today i've been told some good fabric and trimmings suppliers, i've also learnt more about types of silks and satins.

Today I got started sewing frills on to Cherry's bra, in between doing this I tidied the boutique ready for a meeting with the bank Susi was having, made tea and coffee for them and created a diagram on excel for the meeting.

Today I spent most of the day designing and sketching ideas fo dresses to go in the boutique. When Cherry visited she had another bra she needed customizing, this time in pink for her flamingo act. This means more hand sewing although I always look forward to seeing the end result.

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!

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.
