so i'm in a creating kinda mood. i spent several hours yesterday finding free Monster High clothing patterns, tracing them from my screen (as i have no printer) and adjusting them to be easier to use. if i can make a mostly-functional garment from paper, i know it'll fit when i make it from fabric. i've come to realize that pattern drafting (for me) requires a very specific mindset, but alterations i can do (and enjoy!) pretty much any time. i figure i've got this morning to keep going with that before we head up to Wild West for game day. last week i managed to watch two games (even if i didn't really follow everything) so i'm hoping i can manage similarly today. if not, i'll probably have further pattern alteration i can work on.
my first project is an outfit for muffin's MH Skelita. being a day of the dead inspired skeleton girl she doesn't fit standard clothes well, and muffin doesn't like the frilly BRIGHT skirt she came wearing, so i offered to make something else. something flowing and adjustable, and dark. the other patterns i'm modifying will be personal-use, because my favorite thing about doll collecting is changing their clothes. like all the time. xD
after i have the stuff figured out for Skelita i wanna work out new looks for my EAH girls. i have specific ideas for Blondie and Cupid, and vague ones for Raven, Maddie and Apple, so i should have plenty to keep me busy. no idea how much will be finished this week, but it's an entertaining project for now.
