Pencil Skirt/Its Been So Long!

As I share my space with the tiny hall Christmas tree while I study (really, its on the table on taking up space), my brain matter is slowly flowing out of my ears. It might be finals week. But....in costuming news, we did A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it was wonderful, both acting and costumes. Check out that wonderful thing here >Youtube clip of AMND and http://www.covenant.edu/news/10.01.14
So much work, but it was great.
I was also given the assignment of drafting a pencil skirt and making it; my sister was the "lucky" recipient. At least I can use the example of it being a first. It can definitely be called a learning experience... My biggest problem was the curve down the thigh, and general puffy-ness. I did use this as a reference >http://www.simplesimonandco.com/2014/03/pencil-skirt-sew-along-drafting-a-skirt-sloper.html My excuse for the horrible fabric is that it was donated to the costume room, and we really have nothing to do with it except experiments and trials. Really, you have to experience this disastrous fabric first hand.

Little else to report except for suffering at the hands of professors and recovery from a brutal review on my paper, but there will be projects during Christmas break, which starts in two days! Cheers.
