These requests happen every September/October...

but this time wins the award for most last minute! 2 days! Just 2 days before Halloween!

I just sent an email saying "sorry! Not enough time to build one for you!"

I made an I Love Lucy dress years and years ago for a client and posted it on my blog. And for some reason no one ever understands that I am not Amazon or Party City with a shelf of pre-made stock and that a custom dress will cost more than $50.

Here's a photo of the second one I built for a different client (because I don't seem to have any photos of the first one on my phone).

Studio video tour!

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild

Paint!

I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild

Time-lapse floor install (part 2)

We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild

Curvy stripes!

Almost time to start quilting panels for my jacket pieces. I have one more front section to piece and I need to lengthen the hood pattern (why does everyone always draft hoods too short?) and then I can make "sandwiches."

I took this photo before I stitched a strip of background fabric to each side of the stripes so that the pattern piece of the jacket back is completely covered.

This is ridiculously thrilling!

I just want to stare at it all day lol! What is it about swoopy stripes that makes them so fun to look at?

I might be crazy

Lots of tiny curved piecing in my future.
