I had a really good day today down at sewing, and got a lot of basic ideas drawn up on the toile.
I'm drafting the design using tailors chalk, and actually learnt something new as well. In all the years I've been designing & sewing I never knew how to get rid of chalk lines. I sussed it today, a damp cloth. Just how stupid is that! Something so simple. I love it when I learn something new, now matter how small or insignificant.
Sorry the photo is lousy, you just can't see very well what I've drawn.
Some of the ladies down the group thought that I was working on the actual garment, and were quite shocked when I said that it was just a mock up which would probably end up in the bin when my coat is finished.
