For the past couple months, I have been binge watching all the Stargate shows. (I can't stand most of the current junk that's being produced, and have decided to go back and watch all the stuff I missed over the last 40 years.)
The Atlantis series is more science team than military so they have a lot of interesting jackets and t-shirts. They're sort of uniform-like in that different departments wear different colors but there isn't any obvious reason for when they wear what they wear (it really just boils down to costumers doing what they do for visual interest/variety in a scene). The budget for season 3 included a bunch of custom t-shirts for the expedition leader who rarely leaves the station to give her more variety than jacket over plain red t-shirt or just plain red t-shirt.
I really like the seams on the first one and the neckline is fascinating, but I'm not sure I really like the shape. You can see the black sides on the princess-seamed shirt worn by someone who wears white - there are red and blue versions of that style as well. And then they also made a v-neck with the facing on the outside - plain but still interesting.
Has anyone else ever watched this or any of the other Stargate series? Gotta love shows that were made back when a standard season was at least 20 episodes!
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
Tonight I learned how to do foundation paper piecing (fpp) without sewing through the paper. I've never had any desire to sew through the paper and then have to rip it all off. This was much faster with no ripping required in the end!
I plan to make this Jack Russell Terrier block into a decorative pillow.

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.
