Junior year, I finally began crafting garments that felt truly unique to me. I began working more cohesively within my own style, and additionally working with fabrics, manipulations, and construction methods that were brand new to me. Though this was also a year of growth, not yet at the fruition of my learned experience, I love the pieces that I made, and am glad to have had the freedom to experiment and play with my design work more so than I had in previous years.
Furthermore, I began doing commission work online, making and selling smaller, simpler pieces. Largely, this was to stay in practice, as the coming year would be my capstone and I wanted to make sure I didn't get rusty over the Summer. I made all of my own patterns as I had been in both my sophomore and junior years, but finally began honing in on the measurements and cuts I needed to highlight to make a piece fit and work the way I wanted it to. Though this was not for my degree, this period was one of the most formative, as without the restrictions of grades or assignment requirements, I got to be much more experimental in my design work.
