Think. Create. Design.

Aspect - creativity
Time - 3 hrs

I find a great interest in fashion, one year ago I was a big activist, I took part in many fashion shows, and mode played an important role in my life. Although, this year I don’t have much free time I took out one of my old jackets and decide to change something about it. 

My goal was to put some life into it through very little details, give it the avant-guard look and I think I managed to achieve it. I have looked for some nice buttons and I've ordered them on the Internet. Although I am not very good at sewing I managed to deal with them. I have also cut around 15 cm of the sleeves, so that the jacket gained more "modern" look. What is important about redesigning is to remember what we want to achieve. I wanted to make it more interesting and eye catching.
By reason of that activity I managed to achieve these outcomes:
-"working collaboratively with others" - I had a model, who was not a pro, and it is really hard to work with someone who does not have any experience, however, we got on easily together and I am really happy about our collaboration.
-"developing new skill" - although this is not my first time with sewing and designing I feel like I have done something new, because I have never used any "background" before. This time I decided to only change the old and useless jacket, put some life into it, which is I think even harder than to simply create a new piece.

Undertaking new challenges is indeed demanding, I've never tried DJ'ing before, but I thought why don't go for it and as soon as I had the opportunity I used it. I find it really creative and involving, I started to like it, even though I didn't formerly. I've been practicing for 5 straight hours and I am really satisfied with the results. Despite the satisfaction that practice taught me that it is never to late to take up new activities, I didn't think that I would ever be able to mix, and as it turned out I was. I think that we should do as many things as possible because we can find them really interesting and then they might be useful in our future life because we never know - maybe one day, we will find ourselves at someone's birthday and will have to play some music? For me this is precisely what CAS is all about, teaching us how to be able to act in every (unusual) situation. Thanks to that activity I have increased awareness of my my own strengths and areas for growth. Formerly I had literally no idea that I actually could be a DJ and by reason of that activity I know that we could do whatever we like, it demands only some work and self-confidence. Of course I am very far from being pro, but I am sure that if I only want I can improve in that area.
