I’m well past this phase in the downloadable pattern process, but the computer part is REALLY boring so I will keep that where it is. The manual grading part is my favorite because I get to use my rainbow of Muji pens, they are absolutely the best pens ever. If only a Muji would open in Chicago my life would be complete. Well I would also like a Uniqlo, and maybe a Madewell…okay nevermind. Anyway I am so excited about this pattern, I can’t wait to start making the actual dress that will be photographed and worn around town. I think it’ll be great with a cardigan or blazer and boots for fall…hopefully fall decides to show up soon, I am melting in all this weather. 60′s are my favorite!
Very cool so see the process behind the scenes. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoy the behind the scenes…I’m always worried people will find it boring!
I LOVE Muji pens. I have one in every color. And your green tape is so great!
This is so interesting- I’ve only ever made very basic patterns for myself, never graded any for other sizes. Thanks for posting your process. I love your Grad-O-Meter!
Muji is the best!! Whenever my boyfriend goes to NYC without me I make him pick up pens for me!!
it’s so inspiring to follow your work. i often find myself wondering about your education at columbia, where i work. each semester, i toy with taking fashion classes, but i’ve never had a good experience in a sewing class (not at columbia, mind you), so i feel hesitant. you seem so skillful and confident–you must have had a good experience?
Going to send you an email….thought it would be easier!
Looks fun!
I will only write with muji pens, I’m a total snob. I have all the colors too, and every time I go to NYC I buy tons of refills. At least you can order online! Uniqlo for sure. Can’t wait to see the final results!
