I just finished my first sample of a new sewing pattern I’m working on and I’m so excited about it! There are definitely changes I want to make (it’s a first sample after all), but I’m so excited about the concept

I finally finished my second sample for my Atalanta dress pattern! It took a lot longer than I planned (I got sick and started a completely new non sewing related project) but it’s so much better than the first version already. There are still changes I want to make, but I’m so happy with the process

Week 7/8

I made my first original pattern! I was too intimidated by my dress idea so I made a simpler button up first and it’s so cool when an idea becomes real.

It’s definitely not perfect. There are some mistakes (the back shoulder seam doesn’t match the front shoulder seam. Oops) and some design choices to think about (Do the sleeves need more drama? Do I like the collar like this?) but it feels like a great first try

Week 5/6

I’m combining these two weeks because I haven’t done that much, because I went to Greece! It was super fun, but obviously took a lot time and energy

- I did start planning which projects I want to work on. I have a dress idea I am super excited about and it was really cool to talk that idea through and get just that little step closer that makes it feel real. I also want to make a pattern to make pants for my mom, but there are some design decisions that still need to be made for that one

- I also have altered my pattern based on the fit issues with my shirt. I was hoping to be further along with that, but Greece was very distracting

- This isn’t really pattern making related, but I started a Victorian crazy patchwork project to work on while traveling and am really loving it so far! I might start another one as soon as I finish this one

Week 4

- I forgot about done is better than perfect which really slowed me down. I wanted to do the button up properly and because I absolutely hate ironing I procrastinated A LOT. Until I finally decided to just not iron and to topstitch things and it’s finished now!

- It obviously doesn’t fit yet, but it’s cool to see that I actually have a better idea of what’s wrong than I expected. I have little experience with fitting, but I think I do know what’s wrong

Week 3

Fixing the armscyes was actually pretty easy to fix. Once I realized where the info I needed was it was very easy

I’m making good progress with my first pattern. I can almost start my first mock up!

This course mainly focuses on learning through personal projects and I’m already thinking and planning them. I’m mainly really excited for an idea I have for a dress. I hope it will be as cool as I imagine

Week 2 of my pattern drafting course:

- I think it’s really fun to learn more about how your body is shaped. I understand that that’s not the case for all people and it is frustrating when it doesn’t really match up with the example and you need to figure out how to still make it work, but I also find it really interesting

- Armscyes are really annoying and frustrating so far. Ofcourse you sleeve should match you the bodice, but so far mine doesn’t

- My mom and I went fabric shopping and one of the items on our list was fabric to make (one pair of) summer pants for my mom later in the course. We bought three different fabrics. Once I make the pattern my mom will have plenty of options!
