Vintage Modern Miss

On a trip to the craft store to get a few supplies I got distracted when I saw that simplicity patterns were on sale for $. 99 a piece. I obviously couldn't pass that up so I choose some patterns and then some fabric to go with one of them and this was the result.

I used the simplicity pattern number 8384 which you can find here and most likely at any store that sells simplicity patterns. I made view B but made some slight alterations to the sleeves and the button spacing on the plackets.

The fabric was also on clearance for $4 a yard instead of $8 a yard for %100 cotton fabric.

I decided to redo my youtube channel but this one is based around my art and designs. I also created a merchandise store that will feature my designs on different products like clothes and mugs so you should definitely check it out ( https://vintagemodernmiss.threadless.com/designs/pride-and-peonies)

This past year has been crazy. As you know from and earlier post I was diagnosed with a chronic illness as well as a few other health issues and because of them my life has gotten both easier and harder. I was able to finish high school with a 3.8 GPA and several academic awards and participate in several clubs and go on several field trips for AP Art. The trouble is that because I was much more involved in school activities and because of my experience when I had a job last school year I was unable to work and am unable to obtain a job at any of the typical minimum wage jobs so although that isn't ideal it gives me the opportunity to stretch myself to obtain the dreams I thought I wouldn't be able to do until much later in life.
That is I am going to be starting my own "entrepreneurship" endeavors by building up this blog with recipes and more fashion and sewing projects, I also may start a YouTube channel if I can build up my confidence and bravery too. Finally I started my own shop where I will be selling my art on different products such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, bags, notebooks, etc. which I am super excited to share with you.
I know that you may be thinking how you have never seen me post about my art before and that is because I wasn't as into art before as I am now even though I was still fairly talented several years ago. Taking AP Art helped me to discover how much more I love creating art and designs in all different mediums and for all different topics. I plan to soon post more about my adventures in AP Art and putting up pictures of my art for you to see.
Anyways check out my shop. Right now it only has one design because I am still learning how to use computer drawing programs and am looking for a good stylus to use. Here is the link to my shop http://vintagemodernmiss.threadless.com and here is a preview of the design;

These are edited versions of some of my senior pictures. If you would like I can make a post on my favorite editing apps and the way I edit different types of pictures. Comment below if you would like to see that post!

This year I am taking the highest sewing/fashion class offered at my school by doing so we have to take part in a Star event for FCCLA a club for family and consumer sciences. There are many different categories of events to choose from but the one that I chose was Fashion Design so that I could get a feel of what it is like to create your own designs and create it. The event also requires you to create a label and price out the costs of making the design based on the demographics that you chose to market you brand towards. This helps us to get a better understanding of the business side of being a fashion designer.
I decided that since I have to do so much for it, it would be fun to document my progress so this is the first installment of progress.

These are just the rough sketches without any color and not many details but so far I am pretty excited!

NOTE; From when I first started this project to now the second design that is pictured has completely changed to fit in better. The new design and the others colored in will be shown in the next post.

Love
