Senior project, what?
Hey, look, everyone; I'm working on my senior project again! I made some panniers, although I'm not sure I want to use them for certain yet. I can't decide if I like how they look. I think they're actually pretty good for 1775-ish, but my eye is still getting used to them.
Of course, none of my stuff is built to wear over anything but little hip pads, but you get the idea. And of course, I look like a moron because even though my dad was taking pictures, I'm tired and still wearing jeans under my kit.
Looks kinda cool from the back, though.
I think part of what weirds me out is how flat it looks from the side, while still being obviously deserving of a "wide load" bumper sticker when viewed front-or-back.
Also, I realized that I never posted pictures of my last project from this summer...it's based on a French caraco jacket from Vintage Textiles, and I made it to wear on my birthday. So her eit is without the ridiculous panniers.
My "wtf are you doing, dad?" face. Also, ignore the random chemise sleeves (unfinished since the middle of high school, sigh) hangin' out there. I was having issues.
So my dad, who was watching the Mythbusters' Pirate Special, told me, "Go get a sword and be a pirate!" And I said, "I'm a cook!" and bent over. "With cleeeaveage!" And he took a picture.
This is the kind of thing JJ was subject to all summer. No wonder he's not coming back for another season! ;P
