Monday, June 21, 2010. After finishing the concept book, I plunged myself into 2 days straight of sketching design ideas. In that time I generated probably around 70-80 distinct sketches. I usually have music going while I work, but I decided to add more inspiration the process, and played several classic sci-fi movies back to back while I sketched (thanks to Mike for the idea! The movies I chose were THX 1138 (1971). 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). I had planned to include Logan’s Run (1976). Each group o...

How i made an origami necklace. Monday, March 22, 2010. I recently made an origami necklace for a friend’s last day at work. People seemed to like it, so I thought I’d post about how I made it. Origami paper (or paper cut into squares about 6″ across). The longest needle you can find (or several needles taped together). Folding bone (definitely optional, but really helps if your paper is thick). 8211; Follow this diagram. 8211; You have two options:. Option 1: Closed Version. Option 2: Open Version.

http://www.thecommonblackbird.com/2010/07/14/sleeve-cap-experiment
Wednesday, July 14, 2010. This is a sample of a sleeve cap I’m working on for one of my Future Architecture hoodies. I made this up in 1/2 scale out of scrap fabric so I could experiment with the shape of the flange between the gathered sleeve and the armhole. I like this proportion so I thought I’d capture it for the record. 08/06/2010 at 11:13 pm. Looks good. can’t wait to see more pics of your work in progress. 08/08/2010 at 10:43 pm. More coming soon :). Mail (will not be published) (required).

Sunday, November 7, 2010. I’m happy to report that I was able to complete my flapper dress in time for Halloween festivities this year. Everything went well with the design and sewing of this piece, with only a few minor hitches here and there (as expected). It’s great to compare the final dress with my initial sketch and see how close they are, that hardly ever happens! Side project: flapper dress. Monday, October 11, 2010. New tool: half size dress form. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Friday, March 5, 2010.
