Day 2 of being Stuck in a Wes Anderson Film and Happily Sewing

-


 Today I finished my Chemise. I hemmed the bottom and lined it with bias tape I made with silk ribbon, and I added a drawstring around the neckline to accentuate and help fit the area.


 In the afternoon, I began to cut out and tape together the pattern for the Petticoat.

Hours Today: 6

Total Hours: 13

This past week's reflection!

  It’s now the end of my first week of sewing an 1890s evening gown, and I’ve been challenged in many different ways! I started off the first day by printing out all of my patterns, it took much longer than I had expected(almost an hour!) and used much more paper than I thought it would. After that, I had to cut each piece of paper to the correct size before even being able to tape them all together. I had expected to face many hardships during my project, but I didn’t think that the most difficult part of my project so far would be cutting up paper for hours on end. I was in an area in the basement of the theater where I couldn’t see any windows and the lighting was quite dark, so sitting in the dark with no outside light was extremely difficult for me. I almost didn’t complete this part of the project and I actually had to pull up a youtube video of birds outside and blast my music so loud my ears rang to distract me from how depressing it was to sit in the dark and do the worst repe

Second Weekly Reflection!

  I’m just going to say that I thought the first week of my senior project was challenging, but I was definitely not prepared for this week. I cried so many times this week. I’m a frustration crier so as soon as I get frustrated the waterworks start, and there was an inhumane amount of frustration this week. From grommets that were literally falling out of my corset, to trying not to lose my sanity while cutting paper for seven hours straight, the frustration throughout this week was more than I was actually prepared for. The anger of at least one thing going wrong every day of the week compounded my frustration. I took on a huge project, but I have high expectations for myself, and coming to terms with the fact that I might not be able to finish the dress before the end of this project is devastating to me. This past week took me four days to finish the skirt, much longer than I had originally wanted it to take, and because of that, I may be unable to complete the bodice. I am glad th
