Sadly today was my last day at Bunmi Koko for the moment. I have been told that I can return whenever I want and if they get into LFW in September there is chance that I will be helping then.
Today has been a bit of a random finishing off day. My task was to complete the mask that I have been working on for the past few weeks. However, this morning we got back another of the finished garments. It was really good to see another dress finished before I had to leave.
Back to the masks... All that I had to do to complete the mask was to cover the backs in velvet to make them clean and professional looking. This was quite a straight forward task apart from the fact that we ran out of a certain glue and i had to change to a different one (disaster). This other glue was not successful so i had to go and do a bit of running round Upton park to find some of the previous glue. Once i had done this i finished the mask without a hitch. I am really pleased that i got to complete the mask as it means i have made them from start to finish, including the design, resourcing materials and making them. Once i had finished i laid them out on the table. It gave me a really good sense of achievement that i had contributed to the fashion show and that my work would be seen by everyone.
Before I left today i was presented with a certificate and gift which was really lovely. I have really enjoyed working at Bunmi Koko and we will definitely keep in touch. I have found that working for such a small company has really given me insight into the company and how it works and functions from day to day. It was really exciting to see the company growing and new opportunities arising each day. I really felt part of the company and felt that I was helping to create and move the company along, not just another intern. All the inters are really looked after and in return it makes the company successful and an enjoyable place to work.
