Today everything felt tired, distant and slow so I'm glad I didn't have a lot of work to do. I just made a golf shirt pattern. Then we were all told what we had to correct on our knitwear and I don't have to change a thing, all I have to do is top stitching on my tank armhole so I'm going to do it in the morning. It's very rewarding, not having to re-do anything. I tried on my hoodie, I love it so much. I found the hoodie very easy and enjoyed making it because I did most of it at home. I'm having trouble connecting the dots, where the pattern ends and where the new hoodie in my closet begins. I honestly can't get my head around sewing this baby up. It's just crazy, I can make clothes now!? When did that happen? I had never touched a sewing machine before college, it just shows that you can do anything you put your mind to.
I don't know whether I'm addicted to online shopping or getting things in the mail but I got some custom acrylic jewelry from CBT's Closet today. I found out the difference between lapped and mitered V necks for tech drawings, I just made a lapped one a week ago, a stretchy black close fit. I can't wait until all of these things are moderated so that I can wear them! I have technical drawings of jeans to do tonight. Keep safe everyone. X
Metric Pattern Cutting by Winifred Aldrich is an amazing book! Winnie, you give us such good instructions. But 70s people, I implore you, what is up with the high armholes? So anyway, I've been making pants patterns for PJ pants and high waisters, I'm quite happy to make them as our patterns fit me so I can actually wear all of it when I'm done. I might be labeling patterns this weekend but I'm going to a cabin for the long weekend and also getting a manicure and pedicure out there.
Upcoming work includes a T-shirt print design and a window display. So it's pretty fun work. If only I wasn't such a perfectionist about it!
Today I shot my magazine cover. I'm deciding on the possible shots but I took a break because there are so many pictures to sift through and I need to look at it with a fresh eye again. There's been thunder and lightning today, it was so lovely. I felt like I was in NYC when I was running in the rain in my heels and trench coat.
Till Monday xx
