Fashion Design And Fiber Arts

What is Fashion Design And Fiber Arts

In fashion design we got to create pretty much anything wearable or usable we wanted with any material. We had a few self and project reflections but other than that we had mainly work time. I mainly focused on crocheting hats but, students created things from stuffed animals to pants to pillows. We had access to sewing machines and anything we needed to create. I really enjoyed the freedom of this class and had fun growing my skills.

Brown and White Crochet Hat/Beanie

This hat was made with brown and white yarn and crocheted using a single crochet stitch.

My original idea for this piece was to create a hat because it was winter. I had crocheted before but this was my first time making a beanie. While making this project I didn’t run into too many problems. But at the end when I was done with the hat It was too small both wide and length wise. I am most proud of myself being able to complete this project overall. If I had one more chance I would have made it bigger and more clean stitches.

Brown and White Crochet Hat/Beanie 2/Take 2

This hat was made with brown and white yarn and crocheted using a single crochet stitch.

My original idea for this project was to try again on the first hat I made with more experience and knowing the mistakes I made last time. While making this project I didn’t have many problems I just kept going through mistakes I made crocheting. For this project I am most proud of being able to complete a wearable hat that was better than the last one I made. If I had one more time I think that I might add more details or something different like a pom pom to the top to make the hat more detailed and interesting but I am happy with this hat.

Headbands Mini Project

I made these with blue and pink yarn using a single crochet stitch.

My original idea for these was to have a project to work on while brainstorming for my final project. I decided to make some headbands because they are simple but have a purpose. While making this project the only issue I ran into was sizing, but I overcame this pretty easily, they did turn out a little small but they were still wearable. If I had one more time I would take more measurements to make them better sized.

Blue embroidered Hat/Beanie

I made this with blue yarn, a single crochet stitch and embroidery.

My original idea for this project was to do a crochet bucket hat but I ran out of time and ended up just doing a beanie. For the requirements we had to do 2 different skills so I embroidered some designs onto the crochet. I didn’t have any struggles with this project. If I had more time I would have done something different from what I have been doing, maybe a bucket hat.

Overall Self Assesment

This semester I felt that I used my class time very well. I never was off task and got projects done as efficiently as I could. I think that the only time I was off task is when I needed a break and during that time I would use the time for other class work. I felt that I problem solved when I needed help or was stuck, even though there weren't many times that I was facing a challenge. If I was, I worked through it or asked the teacher for help. My skills did improve a lot over the course of this class. Some examples of my skills improving was me using the sewing machine for the first time and getting good, straight stitches. I also got a lot more practice crocheting and embroidering which was helpful. As a designer I still want to work on reaching out of what I already know and use different mediums and techniques.
