making an impractical jumper

'new! impractical, not very warm 'jumper' by jess.'


i started taking photos during, rather than from the beginning.

this is what i do instead of sleeping. the reason the lighting is okay is that the sun started coming up.

orange panel size: guestimated.

pink/nude panel: guestimated.

orange panel: pinned into tucks, each fold sewn along.

arm one and arm two: length made to even out the asymmetrical lengths of the pink/nude and orange panels.

i.e. the finished arms are the same length, but made up of non-evenly sized pieces.

note: under orange 'striped arm panel' is pink/nude arm panel. for other arm.

 note: sewing arm seam closed. (inner arm seam)

and when you sew it up and flip it out, it should look like this:

then you can tie things to the arms. like fabric strings, or hair.

(thanks again to alyra for the blue fabric <3)

photoshootin' !

it's now 7:12am, and i'm going to go to sleep in a moment, and it will be very nice.

i decided it would be okay to sit up all night editing, particularly removing the lines that were dividing the orange background.

and now there's sunlight interfering with my retinas.

might i now introduce some grand photo things !

5:53pm

wearing my stuff with some pants. just before no-more-sun.

after a nice day out and about eating strawberries with bread.

where's wally arm.

 i thought i'd take some organisational photos for the photoshoot with jana, sophie and lucy which took place last saturday (photos to come!), and because all of my clothes were being photographed... i had somewhat nothing to wear (as i've gotten into the habit of wearing 80% homemade items. it's good and stretchy fun), so i dug around and found a where's wally top and woolly checky skirt, as seen on the photo edge.

above: (as seen in previous post, except worn more underneath than over the top. 

i'm still thinking of modifying this.)

 above: socks lookin' not too socky on a hanger.

 favourite dress.

not all of the items were used for the photoshooting, but a good lot were.

perhaps where's wally spotting-the-items situation when i post jana and sophie's photos, which are supergood, and a lot of orange.
