There was a discussion between some of my non-sewing online friends over the last couple of days about work habits and how different personality types like their workspace/desk set up, and someone shared this interesting interview about tidiness or lack there of when it comes to being productive -

I relate to many things the interviewee (I think he's a British scientist) says and have many thoughts, but I want to let everyone read it first. We can discuss in the comments here. =)
And here's a free sticker I received with a notions order a couple days ago - #sewdontclean hehe!
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
A client I made a cosplay for a few years ago won tickets to The Kentucky Derby in May and commissioned me to make her outfit! This is going to be a fun build!
Her inspiration is from a dress in Singin' in the Rain, and I found a good starting point pattern to use from Mrs. Depew Patterns that has a similar vibe. It's a repo of a 1920s evening gown.
I printed her size and taped it together this afternoon. It isn't the cleanest draft (lots of pointy curves), but it seems decent enough and I can clean it up. I'll start on a mockup in a few days.

Making lingerie out of scraps again. This is a scrap of Liberty of London lawn (left over from a blouse) and some lingerie lace I bought on Etsy (where it is extremely affordable and available in an nearly-infinite variety of styles/colors). I went with a band of sheer ribbon and matching straps.
This is a pattern I rubbed off a bought nightgown.
