Fashion & Design
In my Introduction to Fashion Design and Merchandising class, I learned about textiles, colors and the principles of design.
 I used a spinning wheel to spin wool fibers into yarn. |  I took the yarn I spun and used it to knit a fabric sample. |  I dyed the fabric sample with cabbage juice. I used lemon juice to create brighter polka dots because the acid in the lemon juice changed the color of the cabbage dye. |

 This is my merchandising plan with the store's layout and marketing up/down plans for my Spring Clothing Line. |  These 5 designs are what I made for my Spring Clothing line. Design 1: The top is made from yellow Cotton Voile to showcase the bright happy sun! |  Design 2: The pink crape fabric represents the freshness from Spring. |
 Design 3: The rich green batiste fabric shows the playfulness of Spring. |  Design 4: This dress is made out of batiste with colors of a sunset. |  Design 5: This dress has a lightweight, deep blue sheer fabric to contrast with the bright yellow flowers. |
 Research on what to expect as a seamstress. |  By preforming a burn test, we can figure out what the fabric is. We find clues in the color of the flame, the smell and the ashes. |  Burn Lab 2 |
 Burn Lab 3 |  Plain Weaves are basic and are strong with a smooth surface. They are used for shirts, dresses and home décor. |  Satin Weaves has less interlaced weft yarns which gives a shiny surface. It is often used for formalwear, ballet shoes and bridal gowns. |
 Twill Weaves have offset warp yearns that make a diagonal design. It is durable and used for jeans, table linen and other home décor. |  The color wheel lets us visualize the relationships colors have with each other. We can now easily see which colors work well together. |  By adding a tint, tone or shade we can change the value of a hue. This gives us more of a variety within one hue. |
