I’m finally cutting!

It’s time to bite the bullet and cut some of the fabrics to make the actual styles I’ve been working on.  Until now I’ve been testing out the shapes in substitute fabrics as some of the actual fabrics I have for the show are expensive and I have very limited yardage in my studio.

But it’s time to stop procrastinating and start cutting.  So that’s what I’m doing.  And I’m starting with style 001.  Easy, all I have to do is cut one square.  This one, like most, measures 32″ x 32″ and it’s going to be made into a shrug-convertible-to-a-crop-top.  I’m waiting for the organic cotton snap tape I ordered to arrive so I can put together the collar, but in the meantime I can finish the sides, hem and armholes.  I can also attempt to dye it tonight using tumeric or saffron to get a bright yellow clr.  More on that tomorrow!

Also, a big thank you to all the generous support I’ve been receiving for the fundraiser from Candace, Jen, Preston, Jillian, Miramito, Tanya, Judy & Kristen, Thom, Sasso, Fred, Merry and Nobu!
