hsifengWell, after more time ‘off’ from doing patterning that I care to think about, I currently in a deluge. First it was a bodice pattern for thumbcat at her house in SoCal: I have to admit, I was brushing off some cobwebs and I would still like to tweak that one a bit. But she is going to have someone I really trust working on her gear now and I have let shazear know that they should do another mock up with that pattern before going whole-hog on the dress materials.
Then there was a bodice pattern fordragonwoman : It seemed like old times! I ‘knew’ where the additional bits needed to be added and we seem to have gotten her fitting down in a one-of. In muslin no less!
Last night was making a pattern from some tight fitting jeans forbedpimp : I neglected to remind him to add seam allowance to the jeans cut away when snipping his rough draft – needless to say there was some…gapping…*chuckle* The second round with seam allowance added was much better! Now I just need to get him to come over and draft out his update of my hubby’s Wams pattern and the J. Arnold codpiece pattern I have from T and he will be all set to have at with his wool!
Sometime this week I plan on seeingtristanmorgan and another mutual friend for more bodice patterning. I will be doing Tristan’s and she will be learning with me on our other friends mock up. I know she's gonna pick this up in now time
I have a few errands to run this evening as well as a baby ring sling to complete sometime in the next day or so (before the weekend when it is going to the expectant mom at her baby shower!). I think the sling is going to be purty
Seems like all I do these days is sew…maybe I can talk hubby into reading my history books to me while I do so in order to not fall behind in my library! *chuckle
EDIT: *bahhhh!* WTF is the issue with MSWord vs. LJ posting software?
