sewing plans

[rose_griffes]

I am sitting here feeling generally pleased with life. I think it's a temporary high induced by "Yay, tomorrow is Friday" plus knowing that I get to go fabric-shopping this weekend! Wooohoooo!

Yes, this has to be rationed out. Much like the urge to buy all the clothing ever (especially at the thrift store). But I'm allowed to shop when I have a plan and there are sales.

What plan, I hear you ask? (Okay, not really. But I'm going to tell you anyway.) Look at this blouse. I have been admiring brocade and sari fabrics for years, but I've never had a feasible plan for a garment that I would actually wear. I'd wear a version of this blouse, and I already have that pattern.

Also, I want to make a black skirt, and I need some lace tape to finish the red skirt that's almost done. (Again.)

As for non-sewing stuff:

1) what would happen if Three (D'Anna Biers) met Ten (the Tenth Doctor)? I am wildly curious about your opinion.

2) I love love love "Bright Morning Stars," the new album by the Wailin' Jennys. Three-part harmony by amazingly capable female vocalists!

3) Time to rewatch episode 1.04 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. My turn to (co-)write a recap this weekend.

what would happen if Three (D'Anna Biers) met Ten (the Tenth Doctor)? I am wildly curious about your opinion.

Um...I sort of wish he'd take her on amazing adventures and they'd do awesome things, but knowing Ten he'd:
1. Find out that she was involved in blowing up of planets
2. Project on her all his own guilt re: planet-destroying
3. Consider her an intolerable threat to the universe
4. Make her some sort of offer that he knows she won't take, and then when she doesn't take it
5. Kill her while angsting prettily about it. And it would be very pretty but I would still be mad at him about it.

Of course that's assuming they meet in Ten's universe, with Rusty writing. If they meet in Three's universe with RDM writing...she'd torture him, seduce him, convince herself she's in love with him...he'd fall in love with her because that's what he does...and then love or the illusion of love would make one or the other of them do something marvellously stupid. But I have a hard time imagining Ten in a RDM universe with his Lonely God thing, since RDM would just smack him down and then make him be less lonely.

Having said that, I think there's a way in which they would be very good for each other...the way the Doctor and the Cylons think about love are so different and so messed up in opposite ways, maybe they could balance each other out.

Haha, this is so true! I was going for more of RDM's universe myself, but I'd already come to the conclusion that Ten would definitely (and rightfully) consider D'Anna dangerous. Though post-genocide it's more about ideas and a forceful character rather than blowing up humans with nuclear bombs.

Are you putting a ruffle on your red skirt too?

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I'm redoing the ruffle so it's more like the red skirt on the pattern envelope. The one I initially chose was too va-va-voomy for work, I think.

I also have to redo the hem. *sigh*

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Hee! Va-va-voom! I would think none of the students or your co-workers would care. ;-)

It was hard to imagine myself turning around and, say, erasing the chalkboard in front of one particularly immature class (while the ruffle bounced around). I would totally go dancing while wearing that version of the ruffled skirt, but since I want it for work...

(Also, I have va-va-voom in my lower half already. Heh. That's not the part that needs more oomph.)

I have occasionally wondered about this myself, actually. And I think you and your friend are right, he'd think of her as a threat, but certainly he'd probably fall for her, because in a certain kind of way, she's a lot like River Song, demeanor-wise. D'Anna would be a lot less gooey for him than he would be for her, I THINK, but am not sure about this, given her irrational affection for Gaius Baltar.

Maybe a good model for how he'd treat her is how he treated the Master? Wasn't he proposing at the end to basically keep the Master around and keep an eye on him? I dunno, maybe he was hoping to reform him? Although I think D'Anna would react in just about the same way as the Master did to that idea: O.o?

Fun question to consider. Good luck with the skirt!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Hm. D'Anna pre-boxing might well have managed to capture Ten's (romantic?) interest, but after? I'm not so sure.

Although I think D'Anna would react in just about the same way as the Master did to that idea: O.o?

*laughs* Yeah, if he did fall for her to that extent, I'm pretty sure she'd be underwhelmed by the attention.
