Nothing spurs me into action like more sewing projects than I can probably handle, but the inspiration and productivity keep me going. So far in the last week or two I’ve sewn two tops, the crazy dress from a post previous, and this evening I finished a pair of linen pants. Maybe I’ll get around to photographing them soon. In the meantime here’s my plan (and fabric) for my first couch slipcover. @dlmichael, “Angie” is finally getting a real makeover 😉

There was no Monday painting yesterday so here’s the study for last Friday’s painting, which turned out way differently in class. This is one image I want to work with a bit more to perfect the exercise. #waldorfgrade4 #manandanimalblock #wildstrawberries #littlesnail #wetonwetwatercolor #waldorfpainting #waldorfwatercolor #waldorfeducation #waldorfcurriculum

“Alack, I am undone, for I have no more twist!” The last line here, if you’re not on audio, is that I have no more fabric. And for a such a streamlined dress, the hodgepodge folkwear thing seems like too much. As pretty as this #bhlannadress might be, I’d rather this attempt become a top. But one more attempt at the bodice would mean buying another pricey tablecloth 😳. After four years of fashion design in college and another 14 years of sewing, I’m pretty zen when it comes to working around sewing mistakes. But because the skirt of this dress is so long and the pattern was a digital one, it probably took me 8-10 hours to: assemble the 50 sheets of paper, cut the paper pattern out, then the fabric (which is a large one-way print so I had to carefully line it all up with big pieces for the skirt), followed by all of this sewing!?!

The story of a tablecloth turned dress. Sometimes I think our most creative moments come out of our mistakes or out of the lack of something we think we need. In this case the mistake was a tablecloth I ordered that was too big. Then I seemingly ran out of fabric because I decided to make one of the longest dress patterns that I own. In an act of desperation, I started piecing together the remnants for the bodice and it’s finally coming together. Both of those stripes were cut from the border and stitched together.
