Reflection of third piece..

I feel that my third piece has been my most challenging so far however I feel that by working at it systematically I have achieved a piece that I would initially shy away from. Even though it may not be one hundred percent technically correct, I feel I have made progress in my own knowledge and ability when constructing a piece that is completely alien to me.

I also feel that by working independently with this toille I have made mistakes but I have been able to learn from these. One of these was when I cut through the wrong part of one of the tabs when bagging them out. I have learnt to take greater care when doing things like this as they are very important and can ruin a piece!!

I have also learnt that by taking a little more time over things and care, it can mean that the outcome is more satisfying as you know you have worked to the best of your ability.

I feel that I have done well to create a piece that was not necessarily meant to be a skirt. I feel that I have done well using my own initiative creating seams and darts where they would not have beeen to re-create a piece suitable for contemporary use. I have learnt to be versatile and work with what I have and make these work to the best of my ablility.

I feel that I can come away from making this toille with a growing self confidence as I feel, with practice, I am able to make ever challenging pieces that I would once be daunted at!
