Day Two.
The relationship Pattie shares with her clients is one of couturier, therapist, and friend. They trust her implicitly because she helps them present their best selves. She is happy to greet them when the wind chime on the front door reveals their entry and excited to show them the special item she has been working so hard to prepare for them. Every client has been thrilled to tell me that I will be learning from the best.
Here Pattie is fitting a muslin for a spread keyhole, mid-length dress with lantern sleeves. Even the cotton muslin is gorgeous. The dress is perfect for the client, and she will be the envy of all of her friends. Pattie carefully pinned the muslin and showed me the points on the body where you take garments in and out without sacrificing the integrity of the rest of the piece. She makes it seem so effortless.
Later, we worked on perfecting pattern slopers. Pattie showed me the most efficient way to drape and fit the basic bodice, and after following her instructions, the muslin fit perfectly the first time.
Until tomorrow,
Amanda

Can't wait to see what you create with what you are learning. You are so creative now, what you are going to do later will be amazing!
