This week has been just about been……well lets say full of hiccups. \u00a0We are approaching spring break quicker then expected and I, over ambitiously of course, have planned on having all 3 dresses, 90% done by Thursday the 25th. \u00a0The judging is not till the April 12th but if there is one thing always plan for the unexpected, ie: midterms, migraines, illness, fabric shortage, snow storms, coffee spills and the occasional melt down.<\/p>\n

Last weekend I managed to drape, cutout and sew together the bodies of dress 2 and 3. \u00a0I try to work fast and efficiently, so that big dents are made. When I was planning my dress for the cotton competition I purchased 5 yards of white cotton, thinking I would dye it eggplant. \u00a0When noted that was not as easy as predicted, I moved onto lets dye it black. \u00a0Apparently me and dying dark colors, not working out so well, even though I have had success in the past with light colors. \u00a0That being said, now I need more fabric.<\/p>\n

In my state of exhaustion, I counted out the yards and relized I was short to begin with by 15 YARDS. \u00a0Sort of forgot a few things. Yes that is right, I was not in need of 20 yards of cotton. \u00a0$260 later I managed to get my goods. \u00a0Lesson #2, take the amount of fabric that you think you will need and double that. \u00a0Oh but double check that you counted all the pieces you need it for.<\/p>\n

Also, on monday the critic looked and dress 3, suggested that the entire fabric manipulation that I am going do on the skirt was to “moppy” and I should just use feathers. \u00a0Well this is perplexing. \u00a0What to do? \u00a0The point of the design was to make something that was interesting and cost effective. \u00a0After my cotton debacle, the best thing for me is to proceed. \u00a0Hope for the best and stand true to my design! \u00a0Lesson#3, take comments, criticism, and your own standards in making design decisions. \u00a0Everything is with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n

Enter weekend, two workdays of 8am-2am, to see if I can finish my \u00a0GAME PLAN!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
