Holiday time and scarf montage

Yes!Its finally holidays and I now have the head space as well as the free time to blog my heart away!

It was a relief to be able to hand-in all my work over the last week and now enjoy a well deserved break!

I've put together a little step-by-step montage of my scarf in making ( remember the length I was printing for it?)Anyway after lots of planning,plotting,sewing and screaming! I finally made it!

P.S - A little note on what this is about : The idea behind this scarf was to make create a piece of cloth filled with personal memories and the aim was to illustrate what made "me happy" and translate it into something beautiful that I can touch and feel and keep for a long time to come...

I'll stop rambling on now and show you some photos:)Enjoy!

a collection of my hand-printed swatches ready to go into the patchwork scarf!

Like a puzzle! working out a layout that works best,trying to slot in the bits and pieces(the long blue piece of fabric is my printed length...very happy with it:)

Cut and sew...

A mock polaroid of some cool sewing "shots" and sneak peak of the scarf...

Et Voila! The final scarf!

Thanks to my sister for being a perfect model :) and to photoshop for making the photo look pro!
