What a skill to draft a pattern + sew so quickly. I'm a competent sewer that generally follows commercial patterns closely, so I'm always impressed by people who can do this freestyle creation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-fast-fashion#post-1829834 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:07:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1829834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura G, that's amazing. I can't even guesstimate how much fabric I need to go around my own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-fast-fashion#post-1829811 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 19:11:52 +0000 Laura G 1829811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was fun to watch!</p> <p>My great-grandma could do this, though she didn't have such beautiful fabric to work with. She would lay out fabric on the bed, look at the person she was dressing, and start cutting. No measuring, and it always worked. A lost art now, except for the random genius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-fast-fashion#post-1829808 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:59:38 +0000 Ledonna N. 1829808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second what Rachylou said. Danged if I could do something like that that would be amazing and it looks great too. Not that it just looks like oh I just put together this cloth but it really looks great. Oh well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-fast-fashion#post-1829799 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:40:24 +0000 rachylou 1829799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohmigosh. Have to laugh. Because I used to sew Halloween costumes for all my god kids. The idea of me sewing anything in four minutes... I need at least 8 hours of struggling with the sewing machine... and then some time to go to Jo-Ann's to replace all the broken needles... lolol!</p> <p>And he measured and cut too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-fast-fashion#post-1829731 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:38:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1829731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-africa-40656874/meet-the-afro-fashion-magician-who-creates-dresses-in-minutes" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.com/news/av/wor.....in-minutes</a> </p>
