Today I went to Shepherd's Bush to buy my fabrics. I wanted to get either neoprene or something similar to this for the jacket so it would hold the shape I wanted it to have but I couldn't find anything similar to this in the right colour. I decided to go for colour over fabric and found a really nice one which is fairly sturdy in a burnt orange. For the trousers I went for a plain navy cotton and for the top I bought quite thick fabric (not sure what it is exactly) but it is sturdy so will hold the shape and seems comfortable to wear.
After thinking about it a lot I decided that I didn't have enough time to do the print on the material and if I had wanted to it should've been something that I thought about a couple weeks ago. I spent some time redesigning the top using different weaving techniques that I learnt a couple weeks ago. I thought about making the whole top from a weave but decided that this would take too long. I decided on a halte top with a turtleneck and then a woven fringe trim along the bottom.
I also changed the design of my trousers slightly. I bought a really cool embroidered navy fabric last week which looks really good with the cotton I bought for the trousers. I also bought an amazing like green zip which is going to be the fastening for the trousers to match the green topstitching.
Then I drew out each garment that I'm planning to make and illustrated how they are going to be constructed and with what materials. Finally I cut out all the fabrics so I'll be ready to start sewin tomorrow.
