this is what I am working on now

it is a job for a client. I am making a pattern and a tech pack for this bear.  They had it in production out of state and the factory lost the pattern. They had some things they thought was the pattern but after I made them, we realized they were wrong. I ended up having to take the only sample apart and make a proto from it.  Amost done.

Dress help

This is a job I did for a client. He was turning 50 and wanted to make a dress that was from 50 years ago.  He found this Simplicity Pattern and hired me to alter the pattern so it would fit him. I also helped him pick out fabric and sew it.  I ended up eliminating the pattern and lining (too much for newbie) but he did a really good job.

My fabric

I found some bright seersucker in the boxes that lady gave me.  I feel like something bright. I will also make a skirt to match.  I am making the facing out of the print. Not sure about the collar or sleeves yet.
