A FRIEND wROTE my Story..!

Suzanne

She comes from Oudstshoorn. When she was born there were problems with her mother giving birth and she almost died. After all the drama when she was born they realised that her birthday is the same as her dad. She is the eldest of two and has a younger brother.

 Suzanne loves sport and were bought by 4 schools to do hockey and athletics when she was still in school. She also loved to dance she did modern and hip-hop dancing in school. When she was 16 she dated a guy and went on holiday with him and his family. When they came back, as she was walking into the house she found out that her Granddad had just died. Before this happened Susanne was a bubbly extrovert and crazy to the max and she has never been the same again. The same night she and her boyfriend were invited to a party but she didn’t want to go and that night her boyfriend cheated on her and he told her this while laughing in her face. This made her not trusting guys anymore in any relationship.

Suzanne doesn’t like talking much about her feelings she keeps it to herself and after a while she would just explode with emotions. She puts others needs in front of her own. She is a very responsible person especially with tasks given to her. She comes from a Christian background.

She got her creative side from her Grandmother; she taught her everything she knows like painting, needle work and knitting. She lives alone in Cape Town and only gets to go home in the holidays which are not nice because she sees her family very little especially her mother whom she is close with.Her family is known for having great illnesses like Heart attacks, Cancer and Strokes and she is scared of this.  She has a lost many family members in the past years due to this.

In school Suzanne had bad headaches which lead to migraines. She went to the doctor and they gave her medicine that helped but as soon as she stopped taking them the headaches came back. Her parents took her to a neurologist and they did tests and concluded that she had muscle disruptions in her brain .This  means that her brain works different than ours, the smell of foods and other things triggers the headaches. It is a chroming disease and can only be helped with medication and Suzanne is scared that this will develop into something more serious when she is older.

What does the brief say..?

The brief ask one to create a garment specifically a raglan jersey which is inspire by your story, where you come from and who you are. This is a brief I have previously done, by opening up to someone about my self is not my forte. The blog will include family stories, stories that had happen to me which changed the person who I am. For a cuteness effect, old baby photos will be posted with most of the family members present, so that my viewers go on a journey with me. Where did my Surname come from? That is another question that will be answer by some information on what it all means and something fun about what does my name means. Stories about family traditions is included and what were made our own.

Finally it will come to the design of the garment. Information on materials and the different types of necks, arm holes, different kind of ribbing as well as the Gauge.  What inspired me and how I focused more on the person I am today and not where I originally came from. Step by step will be shown how I made my yarn and how the finish peace looks.
