Creating is how I communicate with the world . . .
Well . . . this was an interesting project. Remember the linen and silk I was practicing on with Colorhue Dyes a few days ago and wrote about on my January 25th Musing???? I remember thinking that they were more pastel colours than I usually wear and very Spring-like in look and feel. I had already 'rough cut' the fabric before using the dyes, so I finished the final cutting this afternoon. One of the 'learned' parts of the Creative Process for me has been to 'think ahead' of how pieces fit together . . . 'order of construction'. I decided I would make the jacket reversible, not knowing if I would ever wear the 'inside' which was silk noil with 'zebra-like' light blue areas. I did remember to cut and sew the pocket to the 'outside' before sewing the jacket together. Unfortunately I realized too late that I should have sewn both the shoulder and side seams of each jacket together before I attached them as one piece! I had been thinking of the reversible vest-like garment I have made a few times that didn't require side seam attachment as I just tacked them for a more 'floaty' look. 'Mistakes' always add more creativity to the Creative Process!!!!!! It meant sewing the side seams by hand, which actually worked out OK. (Whewwwwwww!) I used the darker pieces I had dyed for cuffs and by the time I finished, I actually liked the colours more than when I began!
As I was taking photos I realized how much of these 'pastel' colours I have in my little 'Creative Space' . . .
Until soon, Che'usa
