Week 5 - I'm Back!

It's been a busy few weeks to say the least! I got a good start at the beginning of the semester, and now the work is starting to pile up.

I have decided to take a different route while producing my collection. I began the semester by making a pattern, then the sample. But since I know all my slopers fit well, I'll be completing all my patterns first, and then moving onto muslin samples, and final pieces.

One of the reasons behind this decision is because I need to piece dye some of my fabric. I decided to add a print to the collection. I'll be using a dye resist to make a yellow polka dot print! The easiest way to do this will be piece dying after all the patterns are cut out, rather than dying all of the yardage and making extra polka dots that won't be used.

I am also collaborating with a local knitter to create a custom knit for my collection! My samples should be here this week, and I can't wait to share them!
