Let's Get Festive
The plaid cotton material was VERY easy to work with; it is incredible how much the lines can help when folding, ironing, and sewing. The wool blend was not so easy to work with; it is so easy to damage wool blends when ironing.. they start to stretch out and awkwardly lose their shape if done incorrectly (apparently my problem). But I was able to create a few infinity scarves, some ear warmers (not pictured), and a coordinating bow tie for my husband all from that one cut of fabric.
Delyn and I set out one evening just before dark to shoot some photos of the styled look. Delyn asked what he was supposed to wear, and then asked if he could wear his leather jacket. It sounded like a reasonable request, and then I decided I would wear mine too. We headed out with our cameras, took a few self timed photos of the whole look, and then I got to practice some detail shots of my husband and his bowtie. I'd say the pictures turned out pretty good, but what was even better was seeing my vision come full circle. This isn't my first styled shoot and it definitely won't be my last...
