Skeptics

So yesterday I went in to school to fit some of my pretty models. I also unfortunately discovered yesterday that I won't have one of the models I thought I would because of a conflict with my presentation date. Sad face.  So we're getting that worked out.

Jill putting up with me and trying on ucky muslin pants (check the necklace too!)

Here's the deal about this process: it takes for-freaking-ever and the only thing that looks relatively attractive or impressive is the final product.  Meaning that my harem pants, my precious babies, got a lot of skeptical looks when I was fitting them on my darling model.  And, to be fair, they are kinda ridiculous in their current state: all loose brown thread and frayed hems and ripped seams.  The important part, however, is that they fit, and when they're totally finished, made in a great stretchy fabric, they'll hang beautifully.  Not to mention...THEY FIT which means my pattern worked out perfectly. Yay!

I also fit Adria in the maxidress. Well, the top part anyways...it basically fit, the only thing holding it back was, again, the fact that it was a muslin.  And that it was without the possible hidden zipper.  (Did I tell you about when we were zipper shopping and out of allllll those colors you saw here, they had no black?! I know.)  So really, we're in great shape.  More fabric cutting today...some gem polishing and jewelry making as well.  I also really need to get around to refining some sketches that I altered in my head...so much to do!
