Pattern

A few years ago my old old grandfather who is still old told me that he takes ballroom dancing classes. Then he told me not to tell anyone. Perhaps it was out of character and he didn't want people to know. I have the same kind of feeling...

So the other day I was at a Daffy's which is the closest to a thrift shop experience I can have in NYC. Stores that are actual "thrift shops" in NYC are overpriced and most things are cute, while Daffy's has 98% crap 2% good stuff. My daffy's finds make me feel like I'm in high school all over again back at home.

Anyways, this time around I found a great Jil Sander jacket that fit me perfectly. Grey leather is usually not my thing, but the cut was enough for me to drop $40 on it. That's right. $40 for a leather jacket, kinda, blazer I guess.

The reason why I had an eye out for jacket's is b/c I was at a conference this weekend and realize that it's so hard to have a great suit that is affordable. I suddenly got motivated to take pattern making classes so that I can copy this Jil Sander Jacket. I'd make like 10 and be set for life. I think that people at school or at work would think I was crazy. They'd say, for what, what for, are you changing your life? so - in order to avoid all this... don't tell anyone ok.
