Thur
28th - (10am to 5 pm)
I started to make the alterations on the wedding dress for
Helen who is getting married in around 3 weeks time. I pinned the bust support
and hand stitched it to the inside of the dress. I measured and cut the hem to
the new length. This took me most part of the day. I also met a man Called Liam
Murray who is a professional costume maker who specialises in 'Steam-punk' and
has made costumes for the Royal Ballet. He came to meet Elaina to discuss ideas
for a Steam Punk wedding dress she is making for a private client. He gave her
contact details of people he knows, e.g alternative photographers and bespoke
metal workers.

Friday
1st - (1 to 5.10)
I finished the hem on the Wedding dress and completed the
alterations. I really struggled with the foot on the sewing machine that helps
to create a neat double turn under on the hem, I spent around 2 hours practising on samples before I moved onto the final dress.
Hem practise samples . .
