I'm certain there's something in here. Give me a minute or two, I'll see what I can come up with. In a pinch, I definitely have some leftovers from my tote bag, but there might be something else! [With an absent gesture, Lisa indicates the two-tone canvas bag perched on a nearby desk. Most of it's a normal-enough color, but the bottom is in an almost-salmon shade, which seems to match the Sandglass attached to her adjacent school bag, clipped on like a charm. Hopefully she didn't intend it to be subtle, because it. Isn't.
Meanwhile she's digging through the bolts and scraps she's been keeping in her appropriated clubroom, alternately also digging through the tote bag looking to see if there's anything left in the bottom. And she really is digging - for as short a time as she's been in here, she's built up a bit of a stash already. As she searches, she answers the question over her shoulder, not having to raise her voice too much in the empty room.]
I don't! I sketch up rough designs when I feel an idea come on, mostly, and I jot down notes on what kinds of colors might work. Or when I see a fabric or a pattern I love, I write that down, too. Sometimes I see a bit of fabric and I just impulse-buy it, and figure out something to use it in later. So I end up with the occasional thing that I thought would be really cool but I didn't love so much once I wore it, and then a few things that I thought would be kinda okay that I loved as soon as I put them on. [She turns around, finally, holding a chunk of that salmon canvas, as well as some fern-green, tough fabric that seems less smooth but about as water-resistant. On the table beside her is something silvery and smooth, and a shock of bright red something or other that's hard to further identify through the loudness of the hue.] It's a lot of trial and error. Sometimes you get something you like, and sometimes you get something that you try to find another home for. But it's fun either way!
