hey rubificticious, you posted a comment on the exam thoughts thread to come to this one, so i did!
how do you rekon you went in your final product?? did you get it finished on time?
i ended up pulling an all nighter on the final sunday, it nearly killed me cos i had to stay at school monday for an assessment
BUT ITS OVER
i started to miss sewing for a bit after i had handed it in, but i can deal with it lol
so what did you make exactly?? i saw it was a textile art focus area, elaborate??
i did a big quilt, which sucked when it comes to marking cos there were so many quilts this year!!
and how did everyone else hold up??? id really like to see how other people handled it

WOOT!
Hey, ahh, I think I went OK. I can't really say, though. I really have no clue what they're looking for.

LOL. Let's just say my time management skills were lax.
I stayed up late too, and best of all, we had our Maths Trials that morning, so there was literally no study for Maths.

I missed sewing too. But, in a good way. LOL.

Well, If you kinda look on here, I posted my photo up a little white back. It's on page 9. I found it for you. LOL.
And WTF, how do you know mine's a Textile Art?

Ahh, quilts. I don't like quilts. I did one in Year 10, and that was the end of quilt making.

MTP killed my life. But now I am reborn.

Exam all done! yay! and it was surprisingly not too hard at all
I went and retrieved my MTP project today.... its been back for a few weeks but my textile teacher wouldn't let us take them until she had photocopied our folios for the year 11's to have a look at
Its nice to have it back
and finally get to look through my folio lol.... didnt get to see much of it as a whole before i handed it in! It just looked like a big book of stress before i sent it away
Im pretty happy with it.... the presentation turned out really nice and i don't think i missed anything out

Yay! Excellent. I pretty much thought the same.
LOL. It's just good to have them back. We can't take them until mid-next week though.
My guess is my teacher would also want to photocopy our foilos. Like, she does with all of them, each year! LOL.

ok-- so I colected my MTP today after the exam. I though I'd post a pic. Sorry about the bad quality. The light quality is really poor in my room :/... It will only allow me to attach one .. So I'll do two posts

Oh WOW! That looks fantastic.
I'm still waiting up for the promised follow up photos.
It looks so good!
Clap, clap!

Sorry to post something so unrelated, but I'm getting back in to sewing, since I finished my exams today!! =D

I'm making two formal dresses for my sister and my friend.

My friend's, but in a dark colour (indigo, maybe?) fabric instead.

My sister's, in a red satin backed crepe. (Pattern alterations: no sleeves! boater neckline. low cut v-shaped backless style for the rear view.) Very 60s!

YAY! I love seeing things like this.
Ahh, I love both dresses.

The first, its really pretty yet elegant. I'm not too sure about the length too as someone stated, but it's very gorgeous.

The other pink dress, I love and want! It's so vintage looking. I love it!

Good on you for this. I have a few vintage dresses and clothes I have lying at home waiting to be altered.
And lucky you too!

oh by the way i made a wall hanging of a scenic view of the beach... with a headland n water n sand n stuff using machine embroidery n other techniques. it was framed so the frame is wat cost the most of the whole thing....coz it was bout 90cm by a metre or sumfin

well, we were encouraged to start as soon as possible but our school was pretty lax. I think I started the project in the first few weeks of term 2 although I had my idea way before then. There were lots of mis-haps resulting in me having to repeat a rather large step-- felting the backing again ><... worst experience ever . I think I started the folio in the term two holidays... and I only finished in the last few days leading up to the due date because of trials.

really we started in like xmas hols...yes we had holiday
& weekends & afternoons at times....which im so glad for coz yeh stuff always goes wrong, ur original plan doesnt work out or you run out of a material, thread etc & the shop no longer supplies it...so a lot of lessons in class wasted.
but yeh we didn really start our folio till like term 1 hols i think (cant really rememba anymore).
& our teacher photocopied our folios b4 they were sent in case anything happnd, & for the yr 11s.

 

[lilpie]

the person that i am talking about should know well by now who they are. if it helps, they attend the school Mount Saint Joseph in Milperra and apparently "top" the textiles and design course in that school (not that they deserve it)!!!

gosh.. .. Well, I was away in South Africa visiting my gran in those holidays, and then I was in Byron Bay. Then again, my project was pretty small scale, but it worked because it was cohesive and the concept came through strongly. I think my friend started at a similar time to me. We both had two major projects-- art and textiles
