From my line up, i dissected each image and created initial Flats , separating the garments and looking at the items as individual.

Initial Illustrations....
From my initial drawings from the stand work i developed a series of silhouettes and developed on top of these basic garments to illustrate what layers and items can be incorporated into the line up.....
Exploration of Drawings.....
Organized myself some mini workshops and these assisted me in developing a way of working that has suited me, with over illustrating and working straight from the stand.....
Also developing many different styles of how to approach a join, a seam and a technique....
Material and Fabric Research
Further development of colour and texture. Referencing textile experimentations of which i explored on the knitting machine and through research from knitting companies and fabric shops....

Research....
These are the images i had taken at the Museum, looking at Military Wear etc....
This is my label. My headline is called 'Home'
'Home' referring back to my ''MAKE DO AND MEND' ZERO' project, i wanted to carry on the ethos of what people had to do , how they coped with the challenges of everyday life. I visited the Imperial War Museum, to research into the 'way things were' they currently have an exhibition about the ' Ministry of Food' as well as the ongoing exhibitions of how men and women coped in the army. The most recurring thing that was mentioned was 'Home'. Home was on everyones mind, and was the main thing people spoke about and the memories that they had once was all about their home.
From this i want to create a collection that illustrates 'HOME', sharing my own views and memories as well as others and the period of the War and how they interpreted home and recreated home in their environment.
These postcards i brought from the Museum that illustrates how things were advertised and promoted. Regarding the Food issue, growing your own vegetables, creating a safe environment during the blackouts, and how to create a safe home for you and yours.
