Pattern Drafting

I've been looking at really cute outfits on Pinterest and trying to figure out what I want to work on next.  I'm really interested in figuring out how to draft and significantly alter patterns, so I'm going to give it a try.  For the most part, it makes sense to me.
I made a "kinderquin" of Isabele yesterday so I don't have to get her to hold still for pinning and fitting.

I am not good at putting colors and fabric patterns together, so I'm working on that too. 

I have a notebook that I'm going to try really hard to use to keep track of pattern drafting information so I can repeat what works and avoid what doesn't work.

I ordered a good bit of fabric from Farm House Fabrics over the weekend.  I'm anxious for it to arrive.  I've not worked with cotton lawn fabrics before and am hoping that the drape and "spin-factor" is as good as I think it will be.

I am also going to try to take "progress pictures" not just finished item pictures.  Of course, that was my theory with the kinderquin yesterday.  I even had the camera in the room, but totally forgot until it was half cut off of Isabele.  Obviously this is going to be a challenging goal.
