new project (along with unfinished ones)

I have started a couple of new projects and this is one of them...

I know it doesn't look like much right now but what it is... is my favorite shirt and I have taken it apart to make a pattern. I love this shirt in fact I need to get busy on creating a new one. Now this is just one way to make a pattern out of a garment that you seriously love... there are other methods and maybe I will do a series on that method too but, for this one you actually take apart the garment. Of course this being a shirt I only need one front and the back I cut in half because I will place it on the fold. My next steps are to transfer this shirt on to pattern paper or the pattern "interfacing" I will call it that you can get at the fabric store. I went to fashion design school many many years ago and they had the pattern paper which I cannot find anywhere... it is great stuff. So this week end I am going to start turning this into a pattern so I will take more photos on the process so you can see.

Well thanks for stopping by, off to work I go now. Have a great day!
