Day 19: Ironing, Pinterest and Window Display







(8 a.m. to 5 p.m.)

Its Spring Break and it feels so good to be off from class. I really needed this break so I can get some last minute sewing done on my collection. Today I went into my internship early, eight o’clock in the morning to be exact.

Shannon had an important meeting to go to, so I would be by myself for a couple of hours. Before she left she had a list of things that she wanted me to complete. The first thing on the list was to iron yards and yards of this fabric that she had dyed the day before. It took me an hour to iron it and when I was done. The fabric was all wrinkled, so of course I was a little frustrated. 

The next thing that was on the list was for me to cut out squares for the window display. I had to cut out, blue and black squares using a cutting board. I cut out exactly 209 blue squares and 289 black squares. It wasn't that bad though, I had my good ole computer and the movie 10’000 B.C playing. It didn't take as long as I thought to cut out all those squares. It took my longer to count all of them just because I am a little OCD when it comes to making sure I get the count right.

After that I uploaded the photos from the shoot that we had last week. I couldn't put them on Pinterest yet because the internet wasn't picking up on my computer. So I ate some breakfast and re-ironed the fabric while I waited for Shannon to come back. 

When Shannon came back I uploaded the photos from the photo shoot last week on to a new Pinterest board. ( Spring/ Sumer 2014) I am super excited and the photos came out great! It took me about an hour and a half to get all the photos uploaded. I not only had to upload them to that board but also to the Grunge Deco board and link them to her website. Talk about a lot but it was cool. 

Now that the Pinterest was updated and I even post some more pins, it was time for me to string all the blue and black squares I cut out.

To string the squares all I need was some thread, a blunt needle and a thimble, then it was like a car in the Indy 500 ( When I say that, I mean it didn't take me long to string them. On the paper Shannon wanted me to do six stringed squares but I only had time to do 3 of them. It was fine though. I got a lot of things done today and I mean A LOT.

It has been a long day but I am so happy I decide to come as early as I did. I got a lot done and I enjoyed every minute of it. 
I guess theres nothing else to say but see you tomorrow.
