Week Two - A Good Week

Happy Friday! I've been in the sewing lab for about 5 hours already today, and I plan on being here for 5 more. What a day.

This week has been very productive (let's hope that continues over the semester.) I completed 3 sets of patterns, constructed 3 garments for fit tests, and I'm currently working on a fourth. I just started my sweatshirt pattern because the sewing lab is freezing so the quicker I make the sample, the quicker I can wear it. Maybe I should make some gloves while I'm at it.

More exciting things! 3 of my fabrics came in yesterday! The "navy" fabric looked purple to me, and according to the Instagram poll I posted 5 hours ago, 99% of you agree that it is in fact purple, not navy. So I guess next week will consist of dying some swatches.

I'm enjoying the beginning of the semester, the lab is empty and I can spread my things out across TWO WHOLE TABLES. For those of you that don't know, we are usually cramped to 3-4 people per table, so this is a big deal.

Thank you for reading, tune in again next week and you might see a finished, final fabric garment?! (If we're lucky.)
