rose_of_painSo this semester is going to be crazy in the costume shop. Why? Because Leon has appointed me as basically the head stitcher. Because Monica (who usually is the head) is in Italy this semester. I miss her already! We were joking today that we should post her picture up on the wall and make it into a shrine in hopes it will give us good luck. XP
But yeah, we have quite a number of new people. Like twice as many people we had total last year. ^^; So that might be a bit crazy as I'm sure it will get crowded later on. Though like one of the new girls totally has SO much more experience than me and yet she's doing Wadrobe. x_x; I should like tell Leon that I think SHE should be making the big elaborate dresses for the show, not me. ^^;; As I trust her more than I trust me.
So yeah, apparantly I'm going to be given all the hard assignments. *whimpers* Though I guess it will give me more skills and all? But still, x_x, this semester is killing me as is already! I have soooo much reading for each class and now I gotta be in the shop more than ever before. ^^;; Eheh. Never a dull moment I suppose. Just glad I didn't take on a Senior Project. And I haven't even really started my Independent Study so afraid of how much MORE reading I'll have once I start that. (Good grief, having a hard time just getting the right books for it!)
But anyways, so today I come in and Leon is like "Hey Lyn, I gotta run to a meeting. For today....make a kimono, ok? kthxbye!" And I'm like "Woah, wait, what? XP" lol Luckily I do know how to make a kimono so even though the pattern we have had NO directions I was still able to figure it out from memory. Though I had to go at 5pm and felt so bad having Sonya finish it for me as she seemed very confused when I was trying to explain how to finish it. ^^;; Ehh, hope it got done. It wouldn't have taken so long if it wasn't for the fact I had a really hard time trying to find fabric big enough to make it out of. ^^; And was confused as to what color he wanted.
I really hope I don't screw up too badly this semester. I got a lot of pressure on me being in this position now. But thank god Leon is insanely patient and has never gotten angry at me even when I've screwed up pretty bad in the past.
Oh and this semester's play is A Midsummer Night's Dream. Squee! And all the fairies are going to be punk. XP And oh dear lord, Titania's dress....is insane and guess who's going to be making it? >>;;; Uh, at least I'll know how to make a dress now? ^^;

Re: long winded response, typical of a Dawn
Date: 2007-09-16 04:16 pm (UTC)Still makes me nervous though as I never seem to know how to do anything right and often embarrass myself, especially in front of the new people when they're asking me to show them how to do something and I don't know and Leon isn't in. ^^; But I do think I'm getting better at least.
And ha, I've already had to spend hours taking out seams but usually that's because I put the sleeve in backwards or something and didn't notice til I was done. x_x; lol Pretty common mistake though as I believe just about everyone I know who sews has done that at least once. lol
