Process Work – The back side of the fabric had a smooth rubbery texture. I used a permanent marker to draw where seams needed to be. I also used little symbols to indicate where separate pieces needed to match up so that I could stay accurate while sewing.

Hey! Remember when we were kids and we pretended like the floor was lava so we hopped from one piece of furniture to another? I went ahead and illustrated that game for no particular reason.
Gold Sparkle Cape Project… for a bunny
SBCAST – Blackout Curtains Project

Process Work – To begin this project I was given a highly detailed and sophisticated rendering of measurements. The client spent upward of 5 whole minutes to create this sketch.

Process Work – I worked directly in the studio which was great because I could reference the actual windows when needed. But the material I was working with is white and needed to stay clean. So we taped a big piece of fabric to the floor and worked on top of that.

Process Work – This is an image of one curtain in production. Realizing that the edges of the curtains would encounter stress from being attached to velcro, which would pull on the fabric, I created a border and used a zig-zag stitch to frame the entire piece. The velcro was then attached on top of the border.

Final Product – We used velcro to attach the curtains to the windows. Velcro was attached to the metal window frames with a sticky backed velcro. The other side of the velcro was sewn to the curtains. The 2 outer curtains attach directly to the middle curtain so that the overlap of materials would prevent light from seeping through.
