shortly after we got there, however, a young woman complimented me on my very cute suit. bryan immediately chimed in that i had made it myself. she gasped and squealed and insisted that i come over so she could get a closer look. boobs, bum, seams and all.

then she demanded that i make her one just like it but in black and with more boob support (because i made it in 3 hours and never got around to going back in and figuring out how to make it actually fit in the boob area properly) and said she'd pay me $100 to do it. she'd even buy the fabric and everything, so the $100 would be pure profit.

she's not the first person to demand i make them clothes after seeing what i had made for myself. i have a co-worker who is putting together a fund raiser charity fashion show and has demanded that i put together some things to put in the show.

on the one hand we could totally use the money and i think it'd be really cool to know that people in the kickball world would be willing to wear my stuff out.

on the other hand, i feel like "who, little ol' geeky me? i'm nobody. i'm not even good at this yet." and i worry that i'd totally screw it up and they wouldn't like it or their friends would make fun of it or something. i feel like i've got so much more to learn before i start making clothes for other people.

nevermind that i don't even have a dress form and have no idea how to even fit a body other than my own (except bryan's, and then only in spandex which is like cheating).
