Sewing a dress for faeriefest. Here's a good tutorial for doing facing on a sweetheart neckline. Ideally, I'll pleat the top, but if not, then really the only thing I don't have a semi-working prototype for is the back of the top. Or we can do bias facing.
Um...wow...um... I guess what I'm doing is "pattern drafting" and there's way better ways to do it. And... it's maybe not that hard to learn. This course seems pretty fun and useful.
I guess what I want is to make "basic block" patterns that fit my body the way I like.
Cute materials for blocks: white gel pen on black poster paper.
