Call The Calvary!

Inspired by Calvary

Design idea....check.

Patterning executed....check.

Design pieces stitched and stuffed....check.

Detailing....

argh.

Yes, that is the part that can trip us up and suck the time right out of us.

my original concept

Designing is truly work and yes, 

no matter how long you have been doing it,

 something can trip you up.

Sometimes, you just need fresh eyes and it comes to you when you see it again in the morning,

Sometimes, you have to call in the Calvary

yes, you know; 

we all have that one friend...

The one that can tell you and be brutally honest.

No matter if it's how those pants make you look

 or what details to execute~

they are on it!

Texture, she said...

I loved the black calico. 

It spoke to me...

but how to make it feel the way I wanted.

When you see it, 

you know.

In my conversation with my Calvary, 

she made me think...

there was more to my story to be told. 

While my original concept was for a Ladye's Pinkeep, 

shades of Downton Abbey flooded my head!

What of pinkeeps for the work staff?

With visions of ticking 

and

 echos of patches;

I was off.

A bigger story unfolded 

~ one that may have never been heard, 

had I not called for my Calvary.
