Identify a list of problems that you will need to solve in order to create your final piece. Make notes in the back of your sketchbook.
e.g.
Lingerie - how do you adapt square samples to corset shapes and straps?
Lampshade - you need to buy the shade! how will the panels connect visually? will you combine plain and patterned panels? What will these be made of? What shape will the lampshade be?
