busy busy busy Friday, Sep 19 2008

so i’ve been busy keeping myself busy. i havent been feeling quite well lately-having fibromyalgia does make things a bit hard. im in pain all the time…so i’ve been making bags and jewelry to put up at my etsy store Sugar Kissed Designs

Today I am going to be finishing two dresses, possibly three, and possibly start working on some cute aprons to sell. Im not sure if I will have the energy to do all of that and work on cleaning my room, but I will try

I really need to start working on my renaissance gown. i have all the materials, i just need to start doing the mock up, then cutting out the real fabric and getting that done.

well i am off. bye

I got it! Friday, Sep 12 2008

A new sewing machine! And I am so happy

I also have been to like every Goodwill located in Newark and got some great steals on fabric. I have this dark/navy blue velvet (curtain panel) that is wide (didn’t measure it yet) and VERY long. enough to make a bodice and the gown! Huzzah I am happy.

I also went to Joanns and Walmart, I purchased Muslin, duck cloth, and some other things to get to work on my bodice. Today I will be going to Home Depot to get the boning for my bodice. And today I will work on folding clothes and washing clothes so I can get a clean area in my room set up with the sewing machine.

I will do a mock up of the bodice, if that turns out good I will use that as the draft for the bodice pattern. and get to work on the whole dress.

But for now I must go!

here is the link for it ( i cant seem to get the picture posted)

it is absolutely gorgeous, and only $8.99 a yard. i cannot wait for my check to come in the mail so i can get 7-8 yards of this beautiful fabric!

zebra print crazy! Monday, Sep 1 2008

so this post is surpisingly not going to be about renaissance clothing! *gasp* or at least i hope.

so i am still waiting for my big check to come in so i can get myself a new sewing machine and fabric.  funny, because i have this zebra print fabric, actually a fuzzy type throw blanket hanging over my bed-to make my room funky!. and i was looking at it, thinking that i should take it down and make it into a cute top. but i really dont wanna take it down lol. so ive already drawn up a pattern for the top, and it’s all just a matter of finding zebra print fabric. i believe that Joanns has some the last time i was there.  but im going to make one

ive already picked out the fabric i want for my renaissance gown at closing day, but im reconsidering it. i have a couple of swatches to choose from, so my indecisive behavior makes me look at other things. blah
