Research #3

My design concept completely changed halfway through so the two above pieces of research don't quite fit anymore but they were still an important part of getting to this point. This is the type of pattern I based my project off of since there was 3 alternating patterns and I wanted to make sure they stayed consistent.

I enjoyed making this, I made a basic pattern since I knew stitching would probably end up taking longer than I thought it would, which it definitely did. When I first did the sketch I was originally planning to do use 3 different shades of blue for the fabric choices. When I went to the fabric store I changed my mind and decided to just choose 3 of the most different fabric I could while trying to make sure they stayed coherent. So now I've got a teal/pink/ lime green color palette and I am glad I decided not to stick to blue. I did back-stitching since I had read that it was very durable and made a backing for it that I was going to attach it too, though by the time I finished the two no longer fit together but I can probably still make it work with some hemming.
