One of my dearest friends,
Brittany, is currently earning her master's in Journalism from Columbia University (I mean, could she be any more prestigious?). One of her recent assignments was a photo essay that followed an entire process from start to finish, and she asked if she could photograph me through the step-by-step of sewing a skirt. Of course, I said yes, as long as we could watch several episodes of
Dawson's Creek while we did it. She said we had a deal.
All the pictures below were taken by
Brittany during that afternoon. Enjoy the behind the scenes of the making of one of the
Heart-Shaped Waistband Skirts!

| First, the pinning |
 |
| Next, the cutting |

| Followed by the interfacing. This pic is probably my favorite. You guys know how I feel about our bridge! |

| Machine time |
 |
| Never underestimate the necessity of a good pressing |

Thank you,
Brittany, for documenting something that is so close to my heart and truly my passion. I cherish these pics! (And the time we spent hating on Dawson)
Brittany - you have my dream degree! and you did a great job documenting the life of the heart-shaped waistband skirt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kendra! Hanging out with Val, some Dawson's Creek and also finishing an assignment? SIGN.ME.UP.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Vanessa really does wear that hat well.
Great pics! And I love your view! We live right next to the Hellsgate Bridge-- not a great view, but it's kind of relaxing to hear the train going past when I'm lying in bed at night!
ReplyDeleteAw, this is so cute!!!
