because i really don't like carrying a bag!

My indispensible patternmaking tools, including Frech curves, dressmaker's awl, tracing whell, straight ruler and notch-marker. I wouldn't embark on a new pattern without them.

I messed a little as you can see.. The needle I was using for the topstitching was not able to make the buttonholes and so it chewed my fabric with zigzag stitches and once I got the piled thread off it left a very visible flaw on the side.

I purchased Design-it-Yourself-Clothes and quickly whipped up a few skirts. Then a month later I became pregnant with my second child and was disappointed that I would be back into my maternity clothes. Not long after I realized my error and started drafting again. I love this book!!! Thank you Cal Patch!!

Mmm-BOP! Oh wait, wrong band.

Anyway. Today I dressed with the thought that I don't need to be able to change quickly (no, not for the Superwoman outfit, but for yoga) AND I wanted to wear my jacket. It's an Armani "knock-off" - for a final exam in Patternmaking II back in college, we were shown a photo of an Armani jacket and told to recreate it, thus preparing us for the ultimate creative process in US fashion industry - take a look at higher priced clothes, copy them, sell them as yours. ANYWAY. Who's snarky? >_> <_<

 

Anyway, as soon as I got to work, I got accused of looking like Jonas brothers. Incidentally, I am working on that particular license right now. I guess I just really get into my work? When I was working on Bratz, I sort of dressed like them, without meaning to, and when I was working on a blue/green/something 70-ish Birthday ensemble, my outfits tended to be in that color scheme. So it's not the first time.

 

Oh, and, apparently, Brutha does not dig the Jonas look, since I got only a distracted "hi, sweetie" from him.

He did "accidentally pass by" us in the gym the other day when we were folded into the plow asana (great view for some, I guess). Though perhaps he was hoping for a downward dog, maybe?

This box of fabric lives under my patternmaking table. All scraps get put in here when I can't bear to throw them out.
