Finally, the pictures I promised!

 Above is the Easter skirt I made on a whim because I found this very pretty fabric.  Looks can be deceiving!  The skirt began to fall apart as soon as I put it on--the fabric began to pull apart from itself at the seams.  Not cool, fabric, not cool!  I wasted $25 on this skirt.  It's cute, but I can't wear it.  Sigh.

Here is the completed Muppets scrup top!  My sister loved it and the Elmo one and wore both of them to her job at the children's hospital.  I have to say, I really liked the Muppets one the best.  Not only do I love the Muppets more, but this scrub top also took me only 2.5 hours!  Another record time!

Now I'm back to 1860's and Regency for a long time.  Pretty, pretty fabrics are coming in the mail, so stay posted for pictures!

Bad me!

I haven't posted in a while, so here's a short update:

• finished the Muppets scrub top (pictures to follow) and my sister loved it
• set the sleeves on the red dress, sewed the decorative buttons and I'm in the process of putting on hooks and eyes
• did a bunch of work on my wrapper randomly one day, so now all it needs is sleeves, a collar, a drawstring and hemming!
• sewed a skirt for Easter that subsequently began to fall apart while I was wearing that (pictures and details to follow)

Sorry for the hiatus!  I can't motivate myself to blog unless I have the pictures to add to the posts, so that's why it's taken so long.  No worries!  I will be back to (actually) posting soon!

Another scrub top project...

I swear I'll eventually go back to 1860's! I just couldn't pass up this fabric for a scrub top for my sister. How cute!



The pattern is the same as the Elmo scrub top and this one is going to have a lime green contrast. I cut it all out and I can't wait to sew it!

New record time!

So on Friday I got supplies at Hobby Lobby for my costume portfolio and accidentally happened upon the sewing section and accidentally walked out with two yards of yellow Elmo print fabric. So, of course, me being me, as soon as I got home I started sewing a scrub top for my sister. Four hours later it was finished! Here are some pictures: I think it turned out pretty well!


I'm going back to 1860's now, so no worries. I just had to get this project done. Toodles!
