I've always said creativity is messy!

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!

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

Looking for the right visual balance

I probably spent way too much time auditioning "pizza slices" for the #derbydress bodice today.

The fabric I hate to love!

Why do you have to be so pretty, brocade? I love you, but you are so fussy to work with!

I made a rub-off dress... the only change I made was to increase the width of the waistband from 2" to 3", which I am more-or-less satisfied with. I'd do a few things, construction-wise, differently next time, but this is an easy, comfortable dress.

The original is from Talbots.
