Right now I am sneaking in a panel skirt in between custom orders.... its yeller n purple... i have to go get more fabric for it tho before i can finish it...i hate that...innit that about a bitch? ggrrrrr
If the electricity holds out I'm going to make a kiddy dress from a pattern my grandma had from the 1940's *crosses fingers* 10 buttonholes and tucks.... wish me luck.
I'm making necklaces, earrings and bracelets from pieces of frosted glass I collected on the beach a couple of weeks ago. I just made a wall hanging from a linen sheet (whoo, fleamarket bargain!) and fabric pastels. I'm not very impressed with it though. I also did a load of baking with my brothers and sister...I'm great at avoiding revision!
yey gingerbread men. We made some the other day as a thankyou for my friend Jed who drives us everywhere - we made him a little mini-Jed and a little mini version of his car. woohooo. as for sewing - i think the machine i was using - my mum's - is possessed, lol. It has randomly started sewing by itself (cue x files music). So when that's fixed I am making a white and turquiose and blue apron top, and a skirt for underneath. I'm getting my creative fix from making earrings - i've got so many in the pipeline
mannnn... i wish i was talented at sewing like you mamas!! but sadly, im not.... i have no idea where to even start!
I'm going to try to make a pair of pants tonight/tomorrow..just plain with a drawstring,nothing fancy. Wish me luck cause I'm not very good with making pants.
I found some great linen at a yard sale. About 3 yards of plain white and about 2 1/2 of a bright pink with embroidery. SO, I started making a plain A-line skirt with the pink and a crazy top with the white. The top has weird rectangle sleeves that are only sewn at the top so they hang freely. I think it is going to turn out really nice.
hahaha....it IS funny...but i still can't stop looking at it and then looking away ...purtanical upbringing streak i guess...
not sewing anything lately, working on my tarot painting series. been doing the tarot with crow people. wish i could upload pics but every time i try it tells me the file is too big. i should have zoomie try, it's probably my mac
i am working on making some wool tops into knitting/felted wool then i am gonna knit some weird scarves!
I am currently stuck on a crazy project for my brownie troop. I have been talked into making a dress and a girl scout uniform to look like what was worn in World War I. I am such a sucker! But, I finished the dress and it really turned out cute. Now I am working on the uniform. I have nothing to go on but a couple of faded pictures. It might be a disaster!
Im inbetween projects right now im thinking about making some braclets using macrome or something...maybe some clothes.
