Sewing by hand and by machine

Hi readers today I am writing about sewing. Hand sewing can be useful if you are working with delicate fabrics or making a small repair. You can hand sew if you don't have access to the machine. Hand sewing is also used for couture garments. There are different techniques that are used for hand sewing, for example whip stitch, herringbone stitch, or invisible slip stitch. When using a sewing machine you need to be careful and have the right measurements. Patience is very important in fashion and sewing, because if you don't take your time and fly through the garment you can have the wrong measurements and it will look odd. Also it is important to used your time wisely. Meaning show up on time and keep working till the end. I think that time and patience are very valuable in fashion and in making a garment.

Listening skills

Hi readers today I am writing about listening skills. Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in communication. Without the ability to listen messages are easily misunderstood. If you can't master communication skill, you should aim to master listening skill. Listening is very important in life, and can help you to become successful. There are many positive outcomes of listening, you can have friends, it improves your self-esteem and confidence, as well as higher grades at school. Listening is not the same as hearing. When you listen you have to actually pay attention, where as hearing is just the sound. Attention is the most important thing we as people can give each other. There are ten principals of listening, 1) stop talking, 2) prepare yourself to listen, 3) put the speaker at ease, 4) remove distractions, 5) empathize, 6) be patient, 7)try to be impractical, 7)listen to the tone, 8)listen for ideas and not just words, 9)look for non verbal communication.

London Fashion Show

Hi readers today I am writing about London's fashion show. London is one of the most craziest, but also thoughtful places. Its the most creative, the most diverse, the most exiting. The fashion week has been an incredible success. Many designers get to present their vision and their thoughts, which is a privilege. Fashion captures people's visions and ideas. Many people get inspired from London fashion weeks. In every show you never know what you're gonna get. The community is positive. This is where designers experiment. many people say its the best one yet.
I noticed there are a lot of patterns in the garments. Floral patterns are mostly used. There are also gentle colors, like light blues and pinks. Every single design was unique and gorgeous in their own way.

Community servise

Hi readers, today I am writing about community service. I think that community service is important. It practices multiple skills, including collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. My class had an opportunity to go on a field trip to set up a quilt show as a community service. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend, I was disappointed. Even though I've never done fashion related community service, I've done other things. I do community service every week by helping out with little kids at the church I go to. I've done many other community service that taught me a lot. It is important to do community service because you help other people and learn things like leadership, communication, creativity and many other important skills. Community service also give you an opportunity to develop and practice those skills.
                                                                                      That's all I have for today, thank you bye.

Not just clothes

In my opinion when it come to fashion I don't just think of clothes. I think of hair accessories and makeup. I think that in order to complete you're look you need right accessories right hair and makeup. All of the trends change over time. One day we want a natural look one day we want to shine. It all depends on what kind of person you are. If you are shy you would wear jeans and a t shirt and natural makeup. If you are confident you might wear something that shows off your figure and dramatic hair style. Fashion is not just clothes, it's hair and beauty. Fashion is art.

Street Fashion

Hi readers, today I'm just writing about what i think of street fashion. Street fashion is often related to youth culture. When I think of "street fashion" I mostly think of the word "comfort" and "style". There are different types of street fashion, here a a few:
Hippies (denim, long hair, flower power).
Teddy Boys (drape jackets, crepe shoes).
Punk (ripped clothing, t-shirt slogans).
Hip hop (baggy clothes, Nike).
Hipster (glasses, jeans, beanies, sneakers, ties).
Urban (colorful apparel, jewelry, skinny jeans, jackets, T-shirts).
Feminine (dresses, hats, sunglasses, hand bags, floral prints).

Urban style is probably the one that describes my style, and sometimes feminine because I like dresses and sunglasses.

Hogwarts' haute couture: The greatest Ofashion moments of the Harry Potter films.





That is all, thank you for reading, bye!


Hello readers, today I write about fashion in the Harry Potter films. Hogwarts had produced some special styles in the film. The costumes are unique, beautiful, and interesting. Hermione's Yule Ball dress was the most ionic, it was designed by Jany Temime. Luna's Christmas party garment was an avant garde look. In Beauxbatons Academy school uniforms were glamorous. The blue silk dresses with matching caplets, shoes and hat was designed by Jany Temime. It looks like something that would be seen on the streets of Paris. All of the costumes were wonderful and unique. Although most people don't pay attention to the fashion in movies like that, those pieces are pretty special.
