Dotting Paper and Manilla

I'm definitely not in Utah anymore when strangers are courageous enough to scream sentences that are often recognized as compliments when in close proximity to another. I laugh at men whose manners are not exactly developed enough to understand that shouting at a woman will not get you her attention.

My only class today was Apparel Process 1 which basically takes you through the process of pattern making and sewing a garment. I was baffled by a lot of the information because it was pretty basic enough for me to know what I'm doing and I felt pretty good about my skill in each area. Each week we'll learn something different and eventually we'll sew together a dress. Next week we'll start on the bodice and go from there.

Last week I laughed at seeing people walking around with rolls of muslin thinking, "That stinks! They have to carry that everywhere!" but once I got my supplies before class... I was that one person walking around with a roll of muslin and a tote bag stuffed to completion. Tool box in one hand, muslin in another, I knew I had to do the inevitable – I had to buy a rollie bag. :(

But guys, before you judge me, it is soo not cute to lug around a bag that weighs a million zillion pounds. Plus, it's not fashionable to have a broken back. ;)

We have to personalize our tools and let me tell you how much I love sewing swag!
