The Lime Green Piping

muslin5muslin2muslin4muslin3OK, so I sat through the movie, which was excellent, we went to see Doubt, beautifully shot, great angles and juxtapositions through the camera lens that really added dimension to the story, but I was really thinking about whether I wanted to put the lime green felt edge piping around the collar/front edge, or in the princess seams.  So I played around in Photoshop, using the rubber stamp tool, with a photo of the muslin, and a separate photo of a close up of the fabric.  It really gave me an idea of the jacket in the fabric, which I really like, and then I could take a green “pencil”, and sort of simulate the “piping”.  I’m thinking that around the collar and down the front, looks sort of expected, but in the princess seams, there is a real slimming line that occurs, and accents the body shape.  I think it will look especially graphic in the back.  So I’m posting the photos, and will mull this over while I sleep, and revisit it tomorrow.

Meanwhile, at 10:30 tonight, I was given another dress for the musical show, to redesign, ASAP, since the show is next weekend.  So I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow morning…
