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
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
