My practice dress.

I cut out my "muslin" and my other pattern pieces today. I'm quite happy with how they turned out. Now I just have to get up the nerve to start cutting the pillowcases. Actually, I have to find fabric for the lining first since the order that I sew them together in requires that I have both fabrics cut out before I start sewing. I'm still trying to figure out the exact order since some of the stitching seems almost impossible...

First I cut out the front panels and stitched them.


Next I cut the back panels and stitch them together and at the shoulders to the front.


I realize that this is the wrong order considering how the Anthro dress' lining was stitched and such.


The waistband and the side panels.


I stitched the side panels to the front and back and measured from there to find that the waistband would fit. I also tried the top on and I think it will fit (though it might could be a little smaller but I'd rather cut it a smidgen too big than too small).


This came in the mail today and I was bored so I flipped through it.


It's Sella! He taught at UA for a long time until his wife developed Alzheimer's so he had to retire and take care of her. I never had him for any of my classes which is both good and bad. Bad in that he is a very talented artist; and good in that he never sugar coated anything. My aunt (who is in her 60's I believe) idolized him when she studied at UA.


This picture is my favorite since he always wore his nice suits. He also gave everyone in his classes crap about not wearing clothes as nice as his, haha.
