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!!

Center front and back hem are 3 inches longer than the side to give a more of a shirt look.

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.

A couple of my papercutting demonstrations from yesterday's open house at Wing & Clover in Rhinebeck, NY. it was fun to meet more of the people who are teaching there: knitting, sewing and patternmaking, printing, oil painting, photoshop, blogging, oral history and digital recording! We're so lucky to have such a great place in our little valley.

 

If you're in the area, I'll be teaching papercutting design later this month. You can check out wingandclover.com for workshop details.

I just love Edwardian everything so I have been hunkered down that past month or so scouring the web for historical books and patterns. One of my favorite things about this period is just how well documented it is! There are books and fashion plates galore.

 

Many moons ago, I purchased the Edwardian Modiste and The Voice of Fashion. Those books are great and were written in the 1990s. They are a conglomeration of dozens of fashion plates and pattern drafting diagram that are pulled straight from early 1900s periodicals. The good part is that they are drafted using scale rulers or approportion rulers. The books provide the rulers that you have to scan or photocopy and then glue together to produce the patterns.

 

As of late, digital drafting using Adobe Illustrator has been my obsession. Its so useful and I don't need giant sheets of paper and to use half an eraser when I make mistakes. I decided to try to figure out how to use scale rulers in Illustrator. After a good amount of fandangling, days making brand new highly accurate rulers, and a decent amount of trial and error - I came up with a process that worked for me.

 

In the video below, you will see how I use scale rulers in Adobe Illustrator to draft the front of a shirtwaist.
