Cambodian Artwork

So on Monday my sewing project was due in at school, and today me and my friend who also does this subject presented our garments in Assembly!!

My design is inspired by the impact of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia during the 1970's, and their slow progress and regrowth since then.

Now these are a few shots from my friends' garment!

And here's a few shots of my project when worn!

I have included my design development drawings because I spent a long time on them and feel they need some recognition too! The drawings aren't totally honest, but they show a fair depiction of the general progression of ideas leading up to my final design.

Tea and Cambodia ideas

So I created this mini table runner thing for my parents' cups of tea that mum frets will ruin her nice table. It was a birthday present for my mum :)
(If you look at my previous post about my cushion, you may spot some similarities in fabric ;))

And a nice shiny backing :)

So I went to Cambodia earlier this year, and really liked this image of a traditional wedding outfit (Right hand side)

Excited!!

P.s does anyone know how to make a silk bodice that I don't think has any boning?!?
