Fashion Design for Beginners

Living in Space

On Saturday, i decided to surprise the boy with a room at Wanderlust!

Wanderlust is a 4 level boutique hotel at Dickson Road, near Little India & Bugis. Not exactly cheap despite the location but it definitely was a wonderful experience!

The rooms are all of different themes.

You have the Pantone rooms on Level 2 - you get to choose which color you want your room to be (there's pink, green, blue....etc).

Then you have the Mono rooms on Level 3 - the Black & White Rooms.

And lastly, the Whimsical Loft where you can choose from five quirky themes, �Bling� , �ASCII�, �Space�, �Tree� and �Typewriter�.

This is Tree!

Booked the Whimsical Loft for The Boy and chose the Space theme!

Was quite angry cus we could only check in after 3+? And they didn't allow us to check out late either :/

Lobby...

Walked over to Sim Lim Square to have B's favourite hotplate Nasi Briyani from the food court. Too oily but it's reeeal good! I love my food SUPER HOT.

Chicken

Mutton

I preferred the Mutton one cus it's spicier! But both also nice!

Shredded Tee from F21

Entered the room and we sure did feel like we were "far far away".

Kiehl's products...

They even have a Nespresso Machine!

Super cute toys!

No gym and swimming pool though. Only a small Jacuzzi pool....

Sandals from Topshop.

I had such an awesome sleep cus the bed was SUPER DUPER COMFORTABLE!!!!

Few problems thought....

The water for the bathtub outside wasn't warm so i couldn't take a bubble bath :(

AND.... I HATE THE STAIRS UP TO THE BED. Everytime i walked down, i felt like i was going to tumble down! SUPER DUPER STEEP AND NARROW. I really wonder how the housekeepers clean the room everyday! Just 1 night there and i REAALY dreaded going up and down. Y'know...i wonder...How the hell did they manage to bring the bed + TV up the stairs?!

Maybe next time i'll check out the Mono Deluxe Room or the Tree themed room. :)

The Time Doctor, Setting Priorities And Patternmaking Practice

Okay, so there's only so much time you can squeeze out of a busy schedule. However, remember that you make time for the things that are important for you, we don't always like to face up to that. However, setting priorities and especially with something technical like patternmaking and making a commitment to laying one brick at a time, will allow you to reach your goals.

I'm already a quarter of the way through my patternmaking book and it's thanks to a great little program called TimeDoctor. It's free and what it does is help you stay focused on you're real priorities, not all your distractions. You'll be able to keep track of how you spend time on the computer and different tasks you list in you current schedule that way you have a little reminder and a way to get a bit self conscious about letting yourself swerve from the things you're supposed to do.

Well, I use it for sticking to my article work and when I've got milestones for article work completed that's when I'll use any bit of extra time to get busy with my patternmaking. Every little bit helps.

And a wonderful thing happened a few weeks ago, when I was working on developing the panels for the princess panels for the torso blocks, I discovered how to create the pattern for one of my own designs. This was a pivotal moment for me similar to how it felt when I first realized the secret to making successful cream puff dough. Or how to save your computer on your own from a virus. The knowledge of how to create something from scratch is very empowering and it definitely has increased my resolve to complete my study of Connie Amaden Crawford's "Patternmaking made easy".
