I have chosen this particular challenge because I am interested in both textiles design and acting. As I was unable to take textiles as an A level subject I envisage this task as a way to incorporate my love of fashion design into the performance, yet develop my understanding of the design process further.
During this challenge I hope to produce eye catching, whimsical costumes that do not restrict movement or create problems for the actors. I want my costumes to inspire and fascinate the audience of children, therefore adding to the magical mood of the performance.
Being a very creative person I have a lot of strengths in this area, I am particularly good at taking a design and sewing it exactly as it is drawn. I find designing comes naturally and I enjoy combining a number of techniques on one garment. My sewing skills are of a high standard and my garments always look impressive. My weaknesses may appear as I begin this challenge because I have never designed a range of garments for a large group of people before. I might also find it hard to fit the costumes to a group consisting of all shapes and sizes, as I have only ever made garments for myself.
