Here we go...

Yo!
So I'm taking an "unofficial" independent class on drawing sketches for fashion designs and learning how to sew. So one of my first assignments was to buy some items for a skirt and to buy a sketch book so I could start sketching.

On my way home from the movies I came across, Blick, the art store in Fenway and it was so affordable. So many things in the store was at least 50% off which is awesome for a student like me. I also got a free membership because I'm a student so what more could you ask for!

So for my skirt my teacher told me to buy 2 yrds of Cotton/Linen fabric, 7"-9" zipper to match, and thread to match. I went with a dark Navy blue fabric since they didn't have any black and I went with a dark Navy zipper that was a shade lighter than the fabric so I think I'm just going to use a black zipper and black thread instead. We'll see how it goes.

Btws, the fabric store I went to is called Sew-Fisticated Discount Fabric at 735 Morrissey Blvd in Dorchester, MA. The fabric I bought was only $1.99 per yrd which is awesome and the zipper was 39 cents! What a bargain.
Peace out,
Jenni <3
