Well, there comes a time in your life when you realise that actually maybe you are good at something.

And mine came in the form of a grade. A 1st. I did it. It did put a smile on my face.

Design Realisation:
The brief entails, a shop report, a technical package, research and design work and a finished garment.

Again, a shop report is not my most favourite thing to do but oh well. Research and design work fairly easy, technical package - well no idea what that is. And the garment: Shit.

I was fairly aprehensive about starting Design Realisation, consideing in first year witht he similar module Creative Design Realistion, I didnt achieve a high grade. First of all, I had never picked up a pattern cutting book in my life. Secondly, when doing so, it might aswell of been in a foregin language ecause it was minf boggling to me. I tried over and over again to begin some kind of understanding of pattern cutting and it just didn't click. I think frustration hindered development in this case. Anyway, after finishing that furst year module I was quite quick to say that I wasn;t able to pattern cut. In other words I had pretty much gave up and subcome to the fact I wasn't talented in that area. However, with 3rd year just around the corner and the sudden realisation that the second year design realisation module would be the last fully making project I decided the only way I was going to learn was by challenging myself.

And I went in with the mentality if I fail then, screw it at least I tried and learnt more along the way.
