2. Vintage Slip

3. Vintage Slip
I created this slip to match a vintage robe
I had purchased at an estate sale. While
the robe is a statment piece on its own I
felt that having a matching slip would not
only make it that much more luxurious
but also make it more wearable. Almost
the entire slip is constructed using french
seams to ensure not only comfort on the
skin but also to provide clean edges that
will never fray. I used pale pink satin and
pale pink floral lace The bodice contains
gathers as well as bias tape made from
the material to finish the edges around
the neckline and armscye.

4. Merchandising
Displays

5. Valentine’s Day
Display
I work at a local home, gift, and kitchen
store that does all of its own merchendis-
ing. A big portion of my job is creating
and maintaining product displays. One
display I did was our Valentine’s Day
merchandise display. With this display we
incorporated a lot of different products
and product categories. From food, cards,
and stuffed animals to high-end cook-
ware. I tried to balance the design so that
similar products were together but didn’t
feel isolated from the other things on the
fixture. I kept things like candy at lower
levels so kids could see it can kept the
more high-end breakables out of reach of
young children.

6. Nature
Display
This was a merchandise display I did at
my job.This display was already put to-
gether when I did it but we needed to
add all the candles, soaps and lotions as
they no longer fit in their original display.
I needed to make the new merchandise
fit in with the old. I decided I wanted the
new merchandise in the center to show-
case it and make it clear that it all goes
together. Most of the other products on
the display were from various vendors
and product lines and were put together
based on a similar theme. I tried to create
different sections on the display based on
what products had a similar look to them.
I also kept the biggest pieces at the top
and bottom to not take up all the room at
eye level and be easier to get out of the
display without moving everything else.

7. Tuft & Fluff
During my freshman year of college I
was tasked to create a microbuisness in
20 week in a group of seven of my peers.
My group created a tufting buiness that
sold custom and pre-designed products. I
was the operations director of our team.
I was responsible for all ordering, finical
data managment and managing product
creation. I also designed all of our prod-
ucts. After the 20 weeks we had reached a
revenue of about eighteen-hundered dol-
lars. We sold our products through social
media, pop up shops around our schools
campus, and through personal selling.

8. Step One: Put the image onto the
monks cloth stretched over the
tufting frame
Step Two: Use the tufting gun
to cut and sew the yarn into the
cloth
Step Three: Apply rug adhesive to
the back of the design to keep the
yarn in place
