I found it much, much harder than I origenally thought it would be to stick to the work plan. This was mainly because things took longer than I thought. Through this project I have relized I am quite a slow worker and I feel this is something to improve on next year. I have spent all my time working yet feel I am still stressed at the end of the project which means I need to speed up. I have found it very useful to be in uni everyday and working there rather than at home. However this has been hard at weekends as the stand I am working on has been in uni so I have had to plan my work so that I have sewing to do at weekends rather than cutting. The inability to cut on the stand at home has meant I was more behind on my work than I thought I would. Also another reason I was behind on my work plan is because I often got to a point where I wouldnt know how to carry on on a dress so would thereofre have to wait for a tutorial with Dexter or Graham, or I would spend a lot of time on one little thing that needed to be worked out. Another reason I was behind was due to the 3 weeks work experience I did (1 week with Hairspray tour and 2 with Naomi Isaacs in london) and this cut into my time a lot as I could not work in the evenings as it was not possible to take any of my sewing things with me to ether work placement. However both placements were very intresting and I felt I learnt a lot.
Being behind meant I had to see Adele about cutting my initual work load down which helped a lot. Although I have struggled with time keeping on this project I do feel my time mangement is getting better so that next year I will be able to stick to plans more.
