Dismal

Here it is! Proof I have not disappeared!:) I do think I have lost my creativity mojo, though. I’ve kind of hit a dead spot, inspiration wise. I was so excited about my break from school, cuz then I would have time to sew. And now, I have nothing to show for it but a few projects. I have some ideas, but no desire to make them. Oh, well. Hopefully I’ll get some motivation soon.

This shirt is made from a men's Aeropostale button up shirt. I just used this pattern as a base, then added some details. The chest pocket on the original shirt became a pocket on this one. I thought the dog was  really cute. However, it turned out a little smaller than I wanted, so I will probably end up selling it.

The word Blue

My sister recently acquired these pants. They are really cute, but reallly white. And white is never a good color for my sister… mainly because they don’t stay that way for long!:)

So, an obvious thing to do was to dye them! I was a little hesitant, because I haven’t dyed very many things. I really didn’t want to ruin them or have them turn out patchy. But, I am very pleased with how it turned out! If I do so say myself!:)

Boring Title

 

 

I decided I would do a quick post! Exams week is soon, and when that is over I’ll be able to sew as much as I want! Yippee!!

These pants/shorts were made from a pair of Bermuda shorts. I really liked the cuff detail but they didn't fit me. The pants themselves weren’t all that great after I made them, so I added the buttons. My niece helped me pick them out. It also gave me a chance to intentionally mismatch buttons!;)

I went to see "The Last Song" on Tuesday! I love it! I wanted to go back and see it again... but at a cheaper movie ticket price!;)And this dress is gorgeous!!: (sorry this is the best pic I could find)
