The LBD Project Part 2: Inspiration to Blueprint (Mood Boards)

Please join us for Part 2 of The LBD Project: Inspiration to Blueprint (Mood Boards)

You’ve explored and defined your “LBD Spirit”. Now, it’s time to translate those high-level concepts into a tangible design language that guides your sewing. This dedicated session is all about mood boarding and inspiration, turning collective brainstorming into a final, personalized blueprint. 

What We’ll Accomplish:

• Mood Board Mechanics & Review: Learn techniques for creating a physical mood board that goes beyond simple image collection. If you have already started a mood board, bring it with you! We will review it collaboratively, focusing on using the boards as dynamic tools to resolve design challenges and confirm your garment’s overall “vibe.”
• Finalizing the Blueprint: Use your completed mood board to lock down specific pattern features, fabric types, and yardage estimates, transitioning seamlessly into the construction phase.

What to Bring:

• Design Notes: Your ideas, sketches, and notes from the A Century of Style & Collective Design session (Part 1).
• Visual Elements: Magazines, printouts & color swatches, including any existing physical mood boards.

Note: This is a crucial step for pre-planning. A strong mood board prevents design drift and ensures your LBD Project vision remains cohesive.

Side Note for Advanced Sewists: If you have already progressed to the construction phase and are ready for a pin fitting (either in muslin or fashion fabric), please let us know so that we can allocate time for your fitting.

We will be meeting at the Koelbel Public Library in Meeting Room A; non-members, please register below:
