I spent TWO months on TWO projects. Normally I would have whipped them out in a couple weeks, but these customers knew (or didn't....) exactly what they wanted and we went through a number of modifications before the physical matched the picture in their heads :)
The first version of the wedding dress was full with an asymmetrical hemline, it ended up being a much more fitted affair by the end :) Lots of changes, fittings, ripping, but finally the king sized tee-shirt quilt and the wedding dress left the building. whew... Now I am about a month behind on my production pieces. Late nights await.
I have 14 new bags cut out and ready to sew for the fall/holiday bazaar season. Time is limited, so I need to put my nose to the grindstone. African Mudcloth, Guatemalan handwovens; Dutch wax batiks, Bali batiks, I just love these ethnic fabrics mixed with the Italian lambskin.
