Wow outsanding work putting in on there. I wouldn't have so much patience though or skill anywhere near it :D

[Guntahkela]

I can't imagine the prop guy sanding out every rough fiberglass helmet smooth. Being a RTV mold guy, myself, I wouldn't have the patience for it.

[PrancingVivi]

That program is so cool :D

I really loved watching this video. It's incredibly inspiring, and so cool to see how you've set up this huge, highly successful company by yourself with a few employees (and a positively adorable ferret XD). As a student hoping to make a career as a seamstress after college, it is really exciting to witness the behind the scenes version of a kind of 'livin the dream' company and hear about it from you and your team.

Is there a part 2? What kind of pattern drafting program are you using?
