I have been working on these pieces since last July. There is a certain flavor of anticipation and anxiety I always feel when I'm close to getting home... or my hometime destination... after I've been over the road for a while. I'm familiar with this feeling from all my experiences nearing the completion of pieces in my previous career as a clothing designer. I always knew then that I needed to calm down. Slow down. Be careful or I will make a mistake. Out here behind the wheel I have to make sure I don't run anybody over.
Starting to see the finished product of these two street wear pieces is exciting. The waistbands will bring it all together, I just hope it doesn't end up looking like a group project that got turned in at the last minute. But nobody would say that about the finishing details because I am going for quality.
Don't get me wrong, I AM proud of my mad scientist/ Mary Poppins/ Merlin's leaky turret alchemy workshop aesthetic...but I admit it can be a *bit* much. I miss having a proper sewing studio with a waist high table to spread out on...that I can work in regularly. I have my little hideout in ABQ, but I'm not there now, am I.
* sigh* So close to being done with these. Added elastic cinch straps to tie up inside for fit, to help support the weight of the optional floof.
