Muslin Samples

I've been at Kendall for 4 years now and one thing I can say is that I loathe making muslin samples. I understand and appreciate the necessity of making a garment with inexpensive fabric to test proper fit and drape and to iron out and stream line the construction process. We as human however are very interested in immediate gratification and in my brain the sampling process slows down my path to immediate gratification. Part of the reason I loved sewing so much in high school was the feeling of accomplishment I received when I completed a project. Projects take a little longer now that I have knowledge of proper fit but I've also come to learn that the pay of is so much greater. To look at a piece that I have made that fits exactly the way I originally intended without bending my aesthetic to meet the limitations of my abilities is beyond satisfying. I truly can not wait to show off my talents, ability, and education on the runway in just a few short weeks. Wish me luck. I have a lot more to do.
