I was looking at photos from a fitting from a week or so ago to remind myself about some details and how I wanted to alter something. I wasn't in the photo editor, just browsing an album of sorted photos. I must have touched the screen just long enough for it to recognize my finger on the photo I had full screen but I didn't move it enough to clear it, swipe to the next, or zoom in.
That motion created a ring of "ripples" and then I got a pop-up menu with an option to "save as copy" - so I saved just to see what exactly I had done. And it erased the background and left just the client in her mockup fitting! So many things I can do with that!
And just because I'm curious to see how a cut outline shape photo will post on Locals (I already tried texting one to my husband) here is one of Wensley howling because daddy is cutting the grass and he can't join him:
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.
