Sewing

 I have had this fabric I made on Spoonflower.com for a while now. And I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it. I also have some other fabric from there I want to use up. But this dress was one I was wanting to get done. A corseted dress is what I did, and forgot the zipper. Which was a minor inconvenience for me. Getting it off was a nightmare, I just need to add a small hidden zipper and a few more boning channels on the dress. Sewing stuff is a hobby of mine that I really do enjoy. 

The black satin for this silly project of mine was from Joann’s fabric. The velvet ribbon from Amazon. I got the pattern for the top of dress is from a simplicity pattern that was designed by American Duchess, The skirt is my own draping. I do love draping fabric. 









It was sewn a lot by hand because of the boning an my sewing machine was not wanting to work right, I broke several sewing machine needles. I finished the dress but there is some corrections needed. And knowing me, I will probably remake it. Because I am a lunatic. 

A lunatic with a crazy cat.

 I’m finally done with my dress! Finally finished! The dress design came from when I wanted a dress from Selkie. The dress I was wanting was always sold out in my size! The green plaid dress with the slit and ruffle. Oh it was beautiful! But, old out. I knew what I had to do. I needed to make one myself. I looked at the style, checking how to make it. I had a pattern by Vicki sews (I suggest not that one, it was a pain, instructions on pdf and very vague.) I am looking for one that is easier. I looked at the fabric type. Paper Cotton type. Hmm… I went on spoonflower and got the signature petal cotton. It has a nice drape for clothes. Then, I picked out the pattern of plaid. A green Irish plaid. This plaid  also comes in other colors! I may do pink next! Fun!  The always sold out Selkie .  I bought on Amazon a green cotton bolt of fabric 3 yards was more than enough for a size 12. And the original dress has the basic ribbon, I decided to go with a lush black velvet ribbon.  I had to ha

Wednesday pink day!

  I wish I had more to say here. Other than I wanted to dress in a cute dress for the day. Little did I know at the time that it was kind of cold outside, and then my head started to hurt. So, I changed into loungewear. The set from Selkie I own, that I guess does look like camo. It, isn't.  This is the set. JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

I bought everything myself, not a sponsorship at all.  It was a great outfit, what do I mean was. It is a great outfit!  All the details are here: JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.
