So Long, Sweet Sewing.

Sadly, I finished my last design class on Saturday. However it was soooo fun. I feel like a little kid when I talk about it because all other adjectives besides "fun", "cool" and "awesome" apparently disappear from my vocabulary. For the last class we had a presentation day, and everyone in the class showed what they had or hadn't developed. After class I went shopping(surprise!). I ended up buying 10 meters of fabric at The Cloth House, which is where I took the next few pictures(of course I had to go to both stores). Unfortunately, that mass of fabric weighs quite a bit and carrying a laptop, two cameras, large presentation sketchbook, small sketchbook, posters, pencils, pens, and attempting to walk is quite an undertaking. So today I'm feeling the repercussions of this shopping adventure, in the form of puffy welts on each arm(and that was two days ago) and rope burn from the bags. What can I say, its pretty glam.

This is such a pretty shop! There's a student who works there who wears bow ties, suspenders and snappy casual sweaters, which makes me feel like I'm shopping in olden times.

This was before shopping.

I do like Chinese people. Especially these ones, they're amazing designers and they taught me all about Chinese New Year. I am born in the year of the Dragon, which apparently is a pretty awesome year to be born in.

Architect: Hey guys, lets build a large building with a hole in the center, then build a tiny squat of a glass gazebo in the middle of it and only wash the windows every 100 years. 

Client: Yeah okay! That sounds fantastic! Let's make sure we don't heat or clean the entire building either!
