Holy shite I've almost made it...

I've gotten through the worst of the school week mostly unscathed.

Micro exam- 92
A&P exam- 93
Nutrition quiz for which I had done zero reading?- done (yay open book! what I don't have the book? yay open google!)

Now school is all taken care of till next week. I'll have a quiz on Monday but it's only on 7 pages in Anatomy. Hell I might start studying now! 

Friday night will still be a stupid night shoot (oh how I hate them)..but now I'm thinking about the ren faire and I have a really strong desire to make a new jacket...I mean I have several days, a pattern, fabric...I wish I was just up to the hand sewing part where you could hand it to me and I could sit here and sew. I like the sitting here and sewing part. Not the finding all the bits, cutting it out part. 

don't faint..but there was sewing.

Shocking I know! High on the elation of being suddenly caught up on school (it really snuck up on me!) I had a HUGE urge to sew. I should clean, or organize or you know otherwise get a grip on my house, but I REALLY wanted to be creative. So I did!

I have this gorgeous fabric from curiouschilde that's totally perfect for a jacobean jacket. I figured having made one before while working for *you know who* it would be easy. I pull out the pattern envelop and it's empty! I have a sleeve, a wing and a cuff pattern..monkey balls. I kind of remember cutting it out there so perhaps I left the body pieces there?...

NEW PLAN: I drafted! It involved knocking some serious cobwebs out of my brain but I did it! Three mock-ups and two fittings with V from upstairs (she sews better than I) I have a pattern! I based it off this jacket in PoF.

But because my fabric has a really strong vertical design I made it have a straight front.
Tomorrow: we cut fashion fabric!
