Summer!

Finally done with school completely! No more physics class ever!
Now I have plenty of time for projects, such as....
A Skirt I made for my best friend using shirring, which I just learned how to use (suprisingly easy to do) and a top I made for myself, which Im not completely satisfied witht the result, but I like it well enough.

Also, I found this cute purse made from a jeans pocket that I made at a friends birthday party when I was like five years old or so.

The finished dress

I love it, its both cute and comfy =)

shopping bags

so the other day, i went to the middle school to sell a cute reusable, fold up shopping bag to a teacher there who had asked me for one. while waiting for her, i ran into my old home-ec teacher who decided to buy one for her daughter. so following her into the home-ec room, so she could get money, there were students staying after there and two of them bought one. it was a nice suprise that i ended up selling all four, which was all i had left. now that i have a serger for the mean time, they'll be really quick to make, and i can look into finding a store to sell in.

Prom Dress

For the past couple of weeks I've been working on making my dress for prom. At this point Im not to excited about it,just because its been a pain with all the planning and whatnot (which resturant, whos driving, etc etc etc). However, I did get to make a pretty dress, so that was fun.

The main dress fabric is yellow satin, and the overlay on the skirt is organza. I added a lace trim along the bottom, and beading along the neck edges. Im happy with how it turned out, only a few minor details that I would've done differently.
It reminds me of Belle's dress from Beauty and the Beast.(Mostly just because of the color)



And outside, its finally starting to be warm and sunny. I really love all the flowering trees.
