Procrastination

Well its 3:54 am and I am making a post. 

I think I will call this procrastination. For awhile now I knew that I had to make cloths for this fashion show, and don't get me wrong I am making them, and they are turning out pretty much what I want, but the shear number of them are ...... ahhhh!!!

Why did I wait so long to start these. I know I will be done in time but thats just it. I will be done in time, while neglecting everything else that is important to me, like my classes that I paid money for, my friends, my job, and precious hours of sleep. 

Its 3:57, and I have a semi-working draft of a top that I am making. After spending almost 1 hr trying to get the bobbin to work on my sewing machine. I noticed a simple error, a step, a process that is apart of threading the needle. That little missed step costed me 1 hr, and a lot of progress.

Well the good part is that once I get this sample done, and can kick out a few pieces, and then alter the sample, and kick out a few more. Then make a few pleated skirts which i will have to make a sample also. "Maybe I will make that tonight, I mean, I know how to do it in theory.... but,....i should, i should do it now, because I can't bet on 'theory', right now". Ok, well after I get my first sample done, and I am almost there I will take another hr to create a working sample (minus the zipper) of a pleated skirt. Then I think I can call it a night, and get a few hours of sleep before I have to get up and go to my friends salon, to get my nails done, and a hair cut, and other pampering, that I am being begged to come and get. 

"Im listening to the Seatbelts, track 7, 'Mushroom Hunting", not one of there best, actually not really, good at all, but it was on and the opening kinda got my attention. 

Ok, well its 4:05 am now. I think I should get some sleep. 

I think the sample I have now is good but I need to add some measurement markings on it for future pieces I will be making and maybe after that I will make the pleated skirt, or at least make the pieces for it. 

Ok. Thats my procrastination rant, and what I may or may not do. By the time you read this it will hours/days/weeks/months since this incident happened. Leave a comment and ask what I actually did. 

Don't forget I will be posting a video or a link to the video of how the fashion show went. I am not sure if I will post the entire fashion show since there will be from 9 to 12 designers showing there items, or just mine. Maybe I will show mine, and then edit the best of and create another video for you all. 

Ok, well, Have a good night.

Update of the clothing line and fashion show

Ok, I just wanted to leave a update. I am currently making a lot of the outfits that you will see after April 2, which is the day I will be premiering my first line of cloths. I am not doing a lot, just about 10 pieces, maybe 12 if I have the time. So far I have supposedly 3 done, though I always want to change them, and by the end of this week, I hope to have 3 more done. Next week, I believe I am on spring break! maybe, not totally sure but I do get a spring break this month. But I will be spending majority of my tame finishing out the last few sets for the line. Whatever I can't get done I will finish it after the break. 

The most challenging part about this is the accessories that I will have to add to all the pieces so that it ties all together. 

But actually, as a whole, this is why I didn't go into fashion designing. Although I like it, and I ma fairly good, the sheer time and criticism, works me over the most. Maybe if I had better quarters, and work environment, and people around me who were in the same field as me, helping me and encouraging me, then maybe I would do it. But as it stands right now, I don't have the time or space, or the right surrounding to do anything as a career.

As it stood I was going to stream live the fashion show in its entirety on STICKAM and record it through it player and create links so that everyone can see it, but now I am thinking of using my Mac computers iMovie to record the show so I can edit and delete fillers, and stalls, and intermissions, and get right down to the cloths. And I can add kool graphics, lol, and post it on YouTube so everyone can see it. So I am not sure, but either way, you will love it. 

Well.....

i'm tired, and I want to make one more outfit tonight so i need my rest. 

"till next time.......space cowboy"
