Last minuite ammendment to the project:

Furthure more evaluation:
I am still working on the evaluation writing up a page for each clothing item and writing what I acheived throughout this project not only in terms of skills directly involved with making a clothing range but also additional skills that I can take furthure in future projects.

Evaluation:
Now I have finished my entire clothing range I need to scrutinize my planning, method and result. I want to find out what went effectively and what did not work out quite as I had hoped. I would also like to get some pictures of people wearing my clothing range and get some feedback from various people.

Finishing touches plus one more item:
Today I have altered the neckline on the jumper, so now it is not as wide and fits well on my shoulders (overall the jumper is still enormous though!). I have closed up the majority of the large holes. And I have used wool to sew up parts that were not connected firmly due to me originally using sewing thread.

Final jumper:
I have also sewn up the hem at the bottom of the dress and there was a whole on the side so I fixed this.
I had a bit of the floral material left so I made a summer crop top which I am quite pleased with. Considering I did not follow a pattern or YouTube video I am happy with my little creation.

Eco thoughts:
The more I think about my clothing range the more I realize that it is in fact eco-friendly. We hear about the exploitation of workers and the mass pollution that clothing factories make, so if everybody made their own 'DIY' clothes this problem would not arise.With this in mind, I have bought material from a local sewing and knitting shop which has benefited them, and I have bought wool from John Lewis which although a chain store, does not exploit its workers. People shop at places like Primark for cheap and fashionable goods. However, Primark does exploit cheap child labour which is completely unethical. I think creating one's own clothing not only gives the person a unique and beautiful wardrobe but also helps the environment and is cheaper.
