Patterns, Patterns, Everywhere!

Hey betches! So this week I've basically been putting all my free and should-be-doing-my-homework time into pattern making for Fashion Week. This past week I got three patterns done and right now I'm taking a break from my fourth. I'm doing a lot of boucle and pearls. My goal with this collection is to bring suiting fabrics like boucle and tweed into my generation and show my generation you can wear it without looking weird. Since I'm usually the only person home in the dorm, (two roommates moved out because they think I brought a "haunted" mirror.. whatever, I have a sewing room now!) I like to have some background noise and lately I actually haven't been in the mood for music. So... I like to watch re-runs of the Rachel Zoe Project. Hearing Rachel's voice also gives me willpower and motivates me to push through the late nights. I'm still searching for models and cutting it dangerously close. My friend from New York has some connections with models down here in Pittsburgh. As for the whole college life thing, I have yet to see an attractive boy worth talking to and my grades are pretty bangin' if you ask me. I've really settled in and made some friends. I'd have to say Kayla, my roommate, is the friend I talk to the most and we usually go grocery shopping or run to the drugstore together. I don't know if I've mentioned Sammi in other posts yet but she's another fashion major in her first quarter like me and I love her! We had an impromptu movie night last night with Sex and the City and chinese food.I'm getting excited because momma and dad are coming to visit today! I'm also getting ready to head up to The City for my final retail project which I'm doing on Lord & Taylor, a department store my Uncle works for. I'm also going to obviously be in the garment district so how can I not possibly go fabric shopping?!?! I'm mainly going to trimmings and pearls but still... shopping is shopping! Might just *accidentally* find myself in a Forever21... Shhhh.... I could always use a new ring or two or five... I can't wait to see my Uncle Geoff though!!!! I always love visiting my uncle, his partner and their little orange doggie, Mason! Well, okay, Mason isn't quite so little anymore. Number one thin I love about New York? HELLO FASHION MOMENTS. UGH, I DIE. Especially so close to New York Fashion Week. Omg. People, I. am. so. excited. I have to go clean up from my late lunch then get back to my patterns, have a fabulous day, babies.
