For tracing, I'm using vellum plotter paper. I have rolls of printouts that were waste at an office Ron worked at. I've placed another piece underneath to show the pattern piece better. Sharpen your pencils!
WIP skirt with hand embroidery. Obviously not in the Alabama Stitch book, but inspired by it while I waited for the book to ship from England.
Not ironed, hemmed or lined yet (don´t want to iron it more than i have to). I´m waiting to just lose those last few kilos before making it up.
I drew up the pattern for the skirt myself after reading Cal Patch´s Design it Yourself: Patternmaking Simplified book.
I´m still not sure whether to do more circles on it, or whether to go for a more minimalist look. Opinions welcome!
The Edgar Miller Exhibit at the DePaul University Art Museum.
Edgar Miller (1899–1993) arrived in Chicago in 1917 and steadily built a successful career as a multi-hyphenate creative practitioner in the city over the next fifty years. Modernism also emerged during this period, but for all his avant-garde inclinations, Miller and the work he produced often developed in a counter direction. He developed a signature style, but never embraced geometric abstraction or machine age aesthetics, remaining committed to ornate patternmaking and naturalist, often imaginative figurative storytelling. Miller was not against modernism, but he did resist its privileging of the newness and the idea of solitary artistic "genius" by embracing the past and working collaboratively. Working with other practitioners, Miller left an indelible mark on Chicago. Over the past century, however, many of these multifaceted contributions to art and design in Chicago have become hidden in plain sight if not outright forgotten or lost. This exhibition offers a tapestry of what remains, of what is known: architectural and mural fragments, proofs; sketches and photographs of projects realized and unrealized; vestiges of moments past; and bits of ephemera. Together these pieces tell a story of an innovative, resourceful, and idiosyncratic polymath who offers an alternative vision of what modernism meant in Chicago.

Pattern January, Day 1 ✔️pop! I started this in the old Paper 53 app on my iPad, and finished it on the desktop in photoshop. I originally thought of doing it in collage, with flat colored craft paper but went digital and I’m glad because it turned out closer to what was in my head. Now I’m excited to go look and see what everyone else has done. #patternjanuary2018 #patternjanuary #robayrepatterns #pop #patternmaking #patterndesign #surfacepattern #paper53 #balloons #partyparty #happynewyear
Ladies from the Ndlovo Community come together under a tree to learn how to make patterns and sew saleable garments and uniforms. Gogo Esther is 83 years old. Some of the ladies walk 2-hours to get here.
As life-size patternmaking is off-limits to me at the moment, I made my own bodice block just to prove I still remembered how.
I am really happy with the flower placement over the bust darts.
One has to celebrate the small victories.
The shape is based on an apron I own, made a little smaller for a seven year old. I did change the style quite a lot though. The original apron is simpler, the binding is used to make the ties, bind the sides and loops at the top to make the neck strap. I made a separate neck strap so that it is wider, and more comfortable, I also made some button holes on the strap and attached it to the apron by sewing two small buttons on the back of the apron so that it can be adjusted.
