Design Rendered in...Kleenex

Pattern Notes and Modeling
Late at night, cozy and warm in bed, was making notes on a pattern for a pair of pants. Imagined a similar construction for a top. Would it work?

Rather than hopping out of bed to get fabric & scissors to experiment, found a nearby alternative: a tissue. Ideal! Carefully tore, folded and shaped it into a three dimensional form. Sketched the design. Next there will be more precision--measurements, etc. The most beautiful idea requires a skeleton (even if it's made out of Kleenex)!

And the pants? Wearing the first pair now.
