Shrazzy said... Looks like a well-thought out plan. Can't wait to see the blouse and the jacket! I admire your resolve--you're more than half-way through your year. 2/10/08 8:14 AM
sewbehind said... I admire your resolve. Look forward to the finished wardrobe. Your sketching is very nice. 2/10/08 11:53 AM
causticmuse said... Lily - Thank you for your input. I may still make some changes along the way, but I was more careful than usual about matching my fabrics to the patterns they are best suited for.
Berniejh - Thanks! I will do my best to get everything done this time. I need the clothes!
Shrazzy - I am going to LOVE wearing those big bell sleeves...though putting the narrow hem on the blouse is going to bring a tear to my eye.
sewbehind - My sketches are nothing to write home about, but those 2" tall doodles helped me choose the patterns in my plan, so I felt that they deserved a spot on my storyboard. 2/10/08 4:58 PM
KathleenS said... I really like your sketches too - they look designer-y! I like your plan and look forward to seeing the results (and it's fun the recycling you're doing!) 2/11/08 2:53 AM
Lucy in Virginia said... Cant' wait to see these sewn up. Lovely color choices. How did you create your storyboard? With a software program? 2/11/08 1:22 PM
causticmuse said... Lucy - Thanks! I used Adobe Photoshop to assemble my storyboard from scans of my sketches and two out of print pattern envelopes, downloaded technical line drawings of patterns that were still in print (got those from PR and the pattern company web sites), and digital photos of my fabrics. It probably took me 45 minutes or so. 2/11/08 4:55 PM
