I got out my F.I.T textbooks on flat pattern design, and studied sleeves, again. I need a fitting partner to measure me! Do I really want to do another fitting sloper? It is more fun to make something I can wear. But, back to the basics. Finished the swirly skirt, and found a cute silk blouse to wear with it - to the wedding in New York. Leaving July 23rd, returning July 26.
So far the job interviews have not yielded results. I rather like having time, but this not having extra money is a real bummer. The white linen jacket/shirt turned out well. Do I want to leave it as is, or paint on it. hmmmm. Blank canvas! Also made the perfect little shell pattern - now to play with putting sleeves in the perfect little shell to cover those wingy things under my upper arms (old age is hell, ladies). But, first - to clean up the mess of the past few days of sewing. Bad feng shui in the studio when I make coffee, and set the pot on the counter instead of in the coffee maker. Good thing no fabric was nearby to be stained. What a mess!
