Ook as pretty of a picture I’ll get today. Last photo I styled with a really fun rainbow check top. The V plunge is a plunge, I need to get some fashion tape to keep it in place. My current solution are bandaids :)

So the dress is done but not in this video :) I added ruffle cap sleeves and a ruffle to the hem. I will try to take a pretty photo tomorrow of the finished dress.

I did go camping over the weekend. That was nice 🐻🐻🦊

Pockets are in the skirt of the dress! I’m lacking motivation in my sewing. Trying to sew just for myself is ok, I’ve made a few things the past few months. But for my shop it’s just sad.

I don’t really want to write negatively about it, I don’t want others to think I’m lacking, slacking or just want income. Or insert any other judgy thought. But it sucks. I had good sources before that helped get views and now next to none. Don’t even get me started on IG. The instant dread and depression from looking at that app icon alone just confirms all my failures.

So my sewing and my shop feel like screaming (sewing?) into a big void. Some days I feel like I’m trying really hard others not hard enough.

At least I believe in my skills and my sewing. I don’t know everything but I love craftsmanship and take pride in every stitch. Hand or machine sewn. It’s just a horrible feeling that if I’m not posting something somewhere I don’t exist or my work doesn’t exist.

Ok end rant for the day 🙃🥲

I’m a little further along with the dress but having issues. I forgot my dress form is a little bit smaller than me. So I had to recut my pattern pieces and add some padding. And some how now my front pieces don’t really cover the bust anymore:( it went from kinda modest to very open chest.

Maybe this could be ok? Style wise? I’m not sure. I’ll baste the pieces together put it on and see. If not then I’ll cut bigger pieces. Just a lil confused bc I used a pattern I made for another top that I wear, just messed up along the way.

Do I know exactly what I’m doing? No. But so far so good. I’m using the same techniques I’ve used for other dresses. Making your own patterns can be scary but I have tons of this thrifted fabric and scraps.

She’s a bag!

I made it satchel style bc I wanted to try this out and I get really annoyed when my totes slide off my shoulders. This can be used like a tote or crossbody, so the best of both! But I would have made the strap an inch or two longer.

Starting a dress today. I spent half of yesterday looking up dresses to see my vision and I think I came up with a good combo of ideas. We shall see… so I just took the fabric I’m using and kinda shaped it and pinned it down just to get some sort of image. I think I’ll make this knee length and with an open back. I drew some ideas out today, still a lil afraid but I do have a lot of this fabric and muslin to practice with.
