i have entered a challenge to design a formal dress for one of my girls. the challenge runs from feb 1-28 on doa. details here<\/a> i can’t actually start sewing till the first but i have till then to work out the design at least enough to get all the supplies i need. so i’ve been putting together clippings, sketching like mad and now that i have a least a vague idea of where i’m going with this, pulling fabrics.<\/p>\n

first i pulled out all my silks\/laces spread them out on the floor. then started putting them together in color groupings, putting back in my bins anything that couldn’t be combined with at least 2 other things. once i was happy with the color matches i put them together in ziplock bags according to groups and set them aside for daylight.<\/p>\n

step two was checking colors under daylight conditions. so each group got put on the table with the sun streaming in. this is where i eliminated some that no longer matched like this
\n\"auditioning<\/a>
\nand this…
\n\"auditioning<\/a><\/p>\n

i also needed to check that the colors worked in a photo since the judging will be done just with pictures
\nwhich eliminated groupings like this
\n\"auditioning<\/a> which looked great in person but sickly in the photo<\/p>\n

this one ”reads” completely wrong in a photo
\n\"auditioning<\/a>
\nthe color gets really washed out, but it looks good anyway so it’s a definite possibility
\nas is this one
\n\"auditioning<\/a>
