Reflection
In this week, I worked on finishing the first ensemble piece and constructing the second ensemble piece, the skirt, that was made from knitting yarns and yarns zig-zag stitched onto embroidery water stabilizer to make a overlapping pattern. Not to make the piece look restricted and to add more visual interests, I left the bottom with more freedom by stitching the yarns together with more space and more randomly than the zig-zag stitched pieces. In addition, I would like to remake or add more design elements to the waistband part of the knitted skirt. For next week, I will finish the skirt and start working on the bodice of the ensemble.
