Self Directed Project

Costume Store:


Having finished supervising the concepts in context unit, I’m looking forward to having a more hands on approach in the Self directed project where I can begin further developing my skills as a maker.


After our briefing for our new unit, we were told what standard of work was required of us and what was to be expected in the unit. I think this is going to be an interesting project making for the costume store, as we will be simulating a real work room and creating an environment similar to that in the industry.


This is the 'pie crust' shirt i will be making and using to help see the processes that i need to go through in order to achieve the same result.

There will be no cutting corners when making for this unit, anything that is not good enough to be seen on stage will have to be unpicked and re-done. As frustrating as this will be, I know that it’s going to be a good habit to get into in order to make sure that the work I produce is a good enough standard the first time round so that I never have to re- do it and waste valuable time. It will also be a good habit in that i will be able to realise for myself whether or not the needle work is good enough instead of going to check with Dexter all the time to see if i need to re-do it, i should know what standard is acceptable and see to it that its met.
