Day 1 (May 8th) Finishing My Concentration

After having some breakfast and an iced coffee today, I got to work cutting out the patterns for the dress I'm making. I worked on cutting out the components and planning how they'd be put together from around 9 until 11:30 am. Most of the assembling will be done at home unless I need help, then I will work with Joan most likely in the theater.


I ate lunch, then left my house around 2 pm to travel to school. Following that I went to help Joan at the theater after playing a little tennis. Sorting and assisting Joan where she needs it with costumes is a part of my concentration's community service. From around 4:10-5:40, I was helping Joan in the theater. Tomorrow I plan to continue to finish piercing together the patterns and start cutting the fabric! I assisted Joan in the theater from about 4:10 until 5:40pm. My goal for tomorrow is to finish piecing the designs together and begin cutting the fabric!


Hours today: 4 hours
Total Hours: 4 hours

Reflection Week 2

 This week went quite a bit better than last week. Going into this week I was a bit concerned that I would not finish sewing my project in time. I spent the first few days this week sewing the skirt of the dress together. By the time I was finished sewing the skirt, it was already Thursday and originally I was supposed to present my Public Demonstration on Friday. Friday morning I spent adding finishing touches and making a top to go with the skirt. By the time I was finished, it would have been time to head to school but we changed my demo to the next day. This gave me a bit more time Saturday morning to make up a presentation slide to go with my skirt and top I made. I got to school pretty early to get everything set up. My public demo even though it was a very small crowd was really fun. I got to engage in a tone of interesting conversation surrounding what I had worked on this year. It was a nice way to show my work and end on a good note feeling proud of myself even if it did ...

 Today I spent most of the time cutting out the new patterns. After, I pinned most of them to the fabric and started to cut them out. Then around 2 I head to campus. I was in the theater helping from around 3:20 to 4:20pm. I ironed and steamed a few dresses for the show. My goal for this weekend is to get almost caught up. I want to try to start sewing by Saturday night because I will be at tennis during the day. I will have to probably do some work Sunday too. Hours today: 3.5 hours Hours total: 18 hours

Day 2 (May 9th) Finishing My Concentration

Image
 Today I slept in a little knowing I would be spending most of my hours at school. Around 11am I started by trying to figure out how I would cut up the second-hand dress to fit my patterns. I got to school around 1:15pm and talked with Heidi about the layout of my concentration and finalizing everything. I was in the Theater by 1:45pm folding costumes. I was in the theater til 4:45pm, I ended up cleaning some gears, helping with math, cutting a lot of the seams on my dress, and helping with putting some other things away. Then I headed to play some tennis! Today I spend a total of 4 hours working on many different things! My goal for tomorrow is the have all the seams cut and start cutting the fabric for the skirt of the dress! Hours today: 4 hours Hours total: 8 hours
