@neller - it didn't look quite right. Went all wonky for some reason. Might be because it's bugging my eyes out. Will take a break and try looking at it with fresh eyes.

@Maria - OH GOD WHY!?!?!?!?! On a more serious note, I tend to find it easier (in terms of not making my head explode) to shade patterns after the fact....though, who knows, in this case, maybe making it a flat cotton, getting all the folds in place, etc. and then shading might work.

Running out of time so I'm willing to try whatever.
