Fabric, Photos, Trying To Figure It Out

Posted on by debthumanblog

I’ve been sewing. My underwear is starting to get shabby, so I made some panties. This one is made from fabric I designed.

These are from commercial fabrics.

I’ll be modeling for the art department, and I need some sort of cover-up for when I model nude. I got a great deal for a Seamwork membership and I’ve downloaded the pattern for the Micha dress. Very simple, straight forward, and I can pull it on over my head. I’m working on deciding if I want to order fabric I designed for this dress or if I want to make the dress out of a linen blend fabric I have and dye the dress. If I dye the dress, I can play with shibori, batik, ombre, or plain, solid dye. Ombre might be fun. I had thought about doing color blocking, but decided against that. What I had in mind had seams on the diagonal – perfect for stretching in all the wrong directions. There will be photos once I finish the dress….which won’t be until I figure out what fabric I want.

I’ve been working on fabric designs. I saw an interesting geometric print in the current issue of Threads. I don’t want to make a copy of the design, but I do want to use the ideas in that design. So far, I haven’t come up with anything that is what I want although I did come up with some interesting designs. 

I took Brady out last night and looked up. I saw a gorgeous sliver of a moon and what I think is Venus. I tried to get both into a photo, but that wasn’t successful. I did get one nice shot of just the moon. Ideally, I would have gotten out the 150-600mm lens and the tripod, but I knew I couldn’t get both objects into one shot with that lens. I kept the 18-400mm lens on the camera. I’ve been wanting to get a moon sliver shot. I’ve plenty of full moon shots, but this is the first sliver shot. 

I played around with the moon shot to make fabric designs. Here’s the progression.

    1. Hmmm…… I looked at my blog, and can’t see how one sets up to follow my blog. I haven’t changed settings on my end so you should have been getting notices when I post a blog.

  2. I’m always on the lookout for fabrics with light values, but some interest. The two below your prism fabric and above the moonshot caught my eye. Unusual and intriguing.
