I spent around 4 weeks of my summer helping a designer, Naomi
Quarrinton who had previously worked with womens wear. I helped to develop and create children’s clothing for an online boutique which
will be launching soon. After what was initially supposed to be a week’s work
experience, Naomi found that we worked really well together, combining ideas
and developing designs, and so as a result of this has asked that I say working
with her within her independent business. Whilst working with Naomi I learnt
many things; for example, how to construct garments, how to draw and cut
patterns and how to develop designs which would sell. I also helped with building the website, taking and editing the pictures. This helped me to work on my photoshop skills which will be helpful for when i move back into creating digital print designs.
All of the fabrics we used have been sourced so far and have mostly been prints; and whilst I am not yet interested in developing prints suitable for children I found that the experience was invaluable. It also helped me to understand what it would be like trying to start your own business, which has really inspired and motivated me towards the future.
