Zee Articles! Zey are fini!

[chargirlgenius]

It's only taken me years. One of my resolutions two years ago was to finish this. It's still not done (these sorts of things never are), but it's a good start. And it's before midnight!!!

Resolution:
2. Finish the online costuming tutorial that I've had in my head for several years, and worked slowly on all of last year.

Result:

Pre-Project Prepping 1: Choosing your Fabric
Pre-Project Prepping 2: Washing Your Fabric
Pre-Project Prepping 3: Evening the Sides (Not Recommended, but there)
Pre-Project Prepping 4: Transferring to Paper
Lesson 1: Patterning the Skirt and Cutting the Dress
Lesson 2: Assembly and Lining
Lesson 3: Hand Finishing
Lesson 4: Eyelets and Lacing
Bibliography

(yes, the intro is the same for all)

They still need some revision, and I'd eventually like to get more images added, and additional lessons, but consider it in beta. YAY!

Very nice! Can I start promoting it yet or do you want to work on it some more?

Thanks!

Actually, I would like to get eyes on it ASAP, including beginner eyes. If something doesn't make sense, I can get it changed. I hope it'll change over time, not just after Jeff gets done editorializing. :-)

Let me get the referring page put together, and I'll post later on. Hopefully today. Then you don't have to send out 9 different links.

Thanks!

Y'know, if I could get them reviewed/approved, we could include beginner's stuff like this in the newcomer's guide...
