Thanks for hanging with me for an awkward first livestream attempt @laurahoj @AudmentsSewing and @thesciwriter! Hope you found it somewhat useful! (I'm surprised that I went on for 47 minutes!)
If I can figure out a better way to livestream using my laptop and a browser instead of the Locals app and my phone, that might help the volume level. So weird that it was so quiet when regular videos I take with my phone tend to pick up every little sound in the house!
And sorry for the slightly weird angle. I had my phone set up for wide-screen, but I guess the app only allows for portrait on livestreams. I guess that just means next time is guaranteed to be better, lol!
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
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
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
I draped a really rough half-scale ruffle tail for one of the debutant dresses Janet & I are making. I just eyeballed and freehand cut a scrap of (un-ironed) muslin in a spiral and pinned it to my little dress form to make sure it was long enough to reach from hem to waist. Then I marked the folds and traced it onto graph paper and cleaned it up. The graph paper makes it easier to copy at 200% and tape the pieces back together.
I'll transfer the enlarged frankenstein paper pattern to brown paper when I'm back at the studio tomorrow or Friday and then make it out of the real fabric.

I made 2 of these valentine garlands. Found the tutorial via Instagram and thought it would be perfect to send to Ashley, my daughter in Oregon, and Madison, my birth daughter in North Carolina.
Pics are from Ashley.
