Nice little two-day job for Fashion Beading! We even remembered to put our tags in the two giant curtain panels. =)
Thankfully, the vertical seams steamed open and flat really well! I hung the panels off the side of the cutting table and just used the steamer and some downward tension with my other hand. (pic 3 is before and pic 4 is after steaming)
Photo 5 was one panel carefully folded into 8 layers so I could trim and straighten the top edge to finish the panels at the proper length. (We hemmed them first and then adjusted from the top.)
We also had a brief visitor mid-morning today. He hates the stairs and never bothered to climb them before. He meowed and left when we didn't come outside.

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.
