Still making the thing

So... the mockup is ... well, it did its job as a mockup.  But the dart is WAY off. it's like 2 inches too low.  So I'll have to redraw the pattern.  I'll never be able to button this one. lol.  That said, it allowed me to figure quite a few things out. I may go ahead and sew the final seams and finish the edges. I don't know. It's only basted together at this point, so it's not really meant to be worn, It would be pretty difficult to actually reinforce it the way it is.  It's really just a sizing tool.  I really needed that dress form I put on my wishlist, so now that the gifting period is over I think I'll just buy it for myself.  I want to sew the final seams just to make sure I understand how to do it, so I'll try to do it with a little more room, and maybe that will make a difference. We'll see.  The fabric is just clearance stuff, but it's cute anyway, and I'll probably mock up another to test the dart a second time before I actually make the real thing and finalize the pattern on cardboard.  Anyway, it's starting to look a little vesty.

Well, that was a surprise!

My computer which I ordered late Monday and expected to arrive during between the 3rd and 5th of January was delivered earlier today.  So I guess what I'll be doing this evening is moving The Dragonette (my old Vaio) into its retirement home in the musical section of the Creation Room. lol. I think Audacity and Lame is still on it, so that is really all I need to use it for recording. I'll probably have to go find ModPlug tracker or something similar. While I'm doing that I can start thinking about what to name the new one that will fit in with the mythological theme of my computer naming history. My last two computers were pretty boring.  Silver Drake began to fail so quickly, that his replacement ended up with the uninventive name of Fire Drake. Lol.  Starting with The Frankenputer, we've had The Dragon, The Phoenix, The Monster, The Dragonette and quite a few others since the beginning of the Internet age.  So this one needs a good name too. 

Anyone got any ideas?

Let's get started.
