infryq: Kitchen scene at dawn, post-processed to appear as if painted (Default)
Yesterday I finished fitting the bustline of the Rhapsody top, and started
on the waist. I think I need to actually add width in the back, which is
odd but we'll roll with it.

I also started working through theSelf Sewn Wardrobe -along booklet for
underwear-making month, though I'm doing it in my projects sketchbook
instead of printing it out as a standalone. This week was inventory and
reflection, so I catalogued all the kinds of underwear I have by fiber
content, elastic, construction, and design, in order from most to least
favorite. Then I was able to make a list of likes and dislikes that will
help me pick patterns and finishes for making my own pairs. My list of
dislikes is a lot shorter than likes, which is nice since it gives me a lot
of options. I need a style where, when laid flat, the narrowest part of the
crotch is at or near the bottom, and the fabric for the rear panel does not
extend beyond the leg holes (/no front-facing leg holes). No nylon/spandex,
no 100% cotton. That's it! So now I'm scouting patterns.

I ordered cyanotype supplies from Dharma, since neither the art store in
SqHill nor the one on Craig St had the bulk chemicals, and I want to be
able to (1) try it more than once so I get some practice before eclipse
day, and (2) store the extra supplies, possibly in excess of 2-3 years.
