I learned to sew from patterns as a kid but only really "got it" when I altered clothes in high school. I still love going to Saks and Barneys and checking seams on high end garments. <br /><br />Your part about hating fabric stores is hilarious. When I was a kid I thought the fabric store WAS the candy store! <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you come up with. And if you do manage to sew an actual space shuttle, you will have my eternal admiration.<br />Miss Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740322605411538265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676766093072297896.post-3850825308545627802013-08-28T01:30:18.208-07:002013-08-28T01:30:18.208-07:00thank you Kim!

I will definitely get some fabric printed once I learn how to really use fabric correctly. I will check out the coletterie link as well, thanks. <br /><br />I'm starting with reconstructing some old t-shirts and figuring out darts and stuff. I always find I learn a lot from 'backwards engineering' too, so I have cut some old skirts and shirt at their seams to see how they look flat, and I'm going to use them like patterns. It's probably a weird way to start but I look at the patterns and it's like plans for the space shuttle. I know it will only work if I learn the shape fundamentals and machine dynamics first. Thanks again for the links. I'll post some clothing as it starts coming out presentable!richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143246390442130088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676766093072297896.post-85858918366126632002013-08-27T17:56:33.751-07:002013-08-27T17:56:33.751-07:00Delurking to say, hello there!
Great post full ...Delurking to say, hello there! <br /><br />Great post full of random awesomeness. Did you know, you can print your own fabric with images you upload: Spoonflower.com. Please please please make fabric. <br /><br />Hurray sewing! I used to call my version "improvisational sewing" in school; my teachers were considerably less amused. So now I try to cheerlead anyone who wants to sew. This site is great: http://www.coletterie.com/. It is the blog for Colette Patterns, and there's lots of photos and a tutorials section. She also wrote a sewing handbook and from what I've seen, it has clear photos and concise instructions. <br /><br />Cheers!Miss Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740322605411538265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676766093072297896.post-77781928732063413912013-08-26T10:55:29.050-07:002013-08-26T10:55:29.050-07:00these are amazing! forget fabric- they look like p...these are amazing! forget fabric- they look like posters to me- occult, esoteric graphs and figures... zomg, i'm drooling over the inverted ones, whatever you call it photonegative. not so much the last but the other black ones have me google-eyed. i wanna see the final result of the scribble thing you were talking about.fanciful deviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032434965998552318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676766093072297896.post-2459675276627540822013-08-26T09:38:49.776-07:002013-08-26T09:38:49.776-07:00Photoshop's fun huh?

I'm amazed to learn I'm not the only one who attempts to acquire clothing by just staring at the wardrobe and waiting for it to appear. I'm soooo crap at sewing, I don't have the body for regular shop clothes and I don't have the budget to get someone else to do it, so I gotta either get rich, thin or good at following a pattern. Because I'm wearing the same things now I was wearing 5 years ago!

What a very cool technique... I have the same hard time in finding clothing.. nothing of interest to me, and if it is, it isn't affordable. I would love to see these patterns on fabric... So beautiful and radiant. Wildthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356889213963355460noreply@blogger.com
