Just in case anyone is confused by my dates: in Sweden we write day/month, if I don't misremember Americans write month/day, so all dates will follow the Swedish pattern.
Day 1 Sunday 6/5
This was a day of pattern-making. I took Amaya's measurements in accordance with different schools of drafting and started drawing up patterns in autoCAD.
This has been immensely fun. I've missed CAD (took a small course in it in upper secondary) and being able to say that a line should be fractions of a millimetre is just wonderful.
Day 2 Monday 7/5
Another pattern-drafting day. I had begun the bodice block on Monday. This day I altered the bodice block and drew up a sleeve block.
Day 3 Tuesday 8/5
This was a "crafting" day for me and my IRL doll-friend (yes I'm lucky enough to have one of those :) ). I mostly dealt with figuring out gauge for teeny tiny dolly knitting (0.7mm needles and 2/48nm yarn), this might not be very "for Amaya" but since I might knit her a pair of stay-ups in this super fine gauge I'm going to count it. I also brought her to my friend and thusly I took her out and played with her which definitely counts.
Day 4 Wednesday 9/5
This was a work day (I work extra when I find the time normally I'm a student) and while I love my job I came home super tired. Part of the tiredness I guess is because of the immense amounts of birch-pollen flowing in the air right now... I've got a constant headache from them despite my meds.
As anyone could guess the above paragraph is a kind of excuse for me not quite following my 28 day program. I didn't take her out and I didn't physically work on the patterns. I did however mentally note down what changes are to be done to the slopers before I test sew them. So I guess that'll sort of get to count.
Day 5 Thursday 10/5 (today at the point of writing)
The bodice block and sleeve block were finished and turned out really well!
