Sickness after sickness, it has been draining my energy to blog!
Just want to update on a couple things that I have been doing in my "down time":
1. Attended my first intermediate sewing class! We got our own custom measured skirt pattern which we will be using to make various style skirts (flare, A-line, pencil, bubble, pleats...you name it!) and first we are using Muslin to make the sample pattern. (Muslin is plain-woven cotton fabric that uses to make a trial version of the garment)
2. Fabric shopping craze!! yea well...now I know how people say they use all their lunch money to buy fabric - i think this week i have been using my lunch and dinner money to get fabric! (top pics: the top three I am thinking of making printed canvas bag with brown vinyl trimming; the lower three are some printed cotton stretch fabric, I am thinking of making some asymmetrical dresses using these! see the
tibi one)
3. Got lots of beautiful gem stones from M&J trimming! I have been in love with the big gem (since
Marni & Marc's inspiration) so now i will be playing with these on my bag designs and clothings!
4. Sew another makeup bag! This is a gift for the person who kindly helped me in the application process! :) There are still more customization to this, which I will be adding later.
5. Realized that I have been needing a lot of trimmings, zippers, buttons, eye & hooks for my sewing projects. It is time to get some kind of organizer for these things! Really love
Bit & Bobbins big drawer with those little compartments...
I am so glad that spring is here! We all need to get out of the cold weather soon! Have a sweet weekend!
