New purchase!!!!

Yup I purchased more fabric...Why? because it was there...lol I wanted a summer dress with bold prints on it and guess what...I think I got it...

I got the burgundy jersey knit because of the issue of my last project since I hate the sleeves so much I am going to redo them...this time it should come out better...

Anyway that's about it I will be posting about my new project soon....

See you then

Update!!!!

Yup the red dress is 80% done, I still have to hem it....and do a couple of touch ups...as usual I am not too excited about it because it did not fit like the package...but I am shape more like an upside down triangle which means I don't have much of a waist it's weird....but I like the color and gues what I actually do like how jersey feels...WOW!!! I always had ill feelings towards it because I thought it was a cheap material...but it's not...and it flows very beautifully.

One of my major problems with this dress is the way the sleeves fit and how the shoulder area kind of pucker out...I think it's because I used too much interfacing...I interfaced both sides which was a bad idea....and it caused it too kind of stand up and out...I have to do something about it....any suggestions?

Here is what it looks like on my "dress form" she looks all distorted....Honestly I don't know why I add this on...but hey here she is....

By the way excuse the mess...I had to take the picture in the basement since that's where "she" lives...I would give her a name but she already freaks me out in the dark ..so I hate to think I would be actually giving her an identity...lol

Summer fabrics ....PIC HEAVY!!!!...

Hey Guys,

I want to start off by thanking you for your very supportive comments...it helps a great deal and encourages me too go on...First off, you remember the dress I started to draft?... Well I had to do something about and since I already paid for today's session I had too go...( No matter how upset I am I still can't afford to not show up)....and it started off with her doing the same old same routine....but I cut that s*(& right out from the beginning...I had too say at some point I got a little gruff, but she took a note and calmed herself down...which made me calm down...I don't know why I didn't tell her how I felt but I guess I was thinking I didn't owe her any explanation...but the reality of it all is ...I do and I will make it a point to address my issue..and hopefully we can continue on...

But she did do something real nice today... she made my life allot easier by helping me adjust the bodice of my summer dress, which was awesome...What was real nice is that she got a little excited about it and gave me tips on how to construct it better...so it would look more professional... which was great...all I really have to do now is too stitch it together and attach the skirt segment too it...I think for the sake of time...I will continue doing it that way...she likes too get detail oriented and it takes up too much time which cost me since this chick is not free...I pay her by the hour and believe in me it's not easy
for me too keep skipping lunch and scrounge around for pennies to get a lesson with her

Anyway moving on...I got some fabrics ...and the only thing I wanted was bright, youthful colors...so I picked out the most vibrant fabrics and purchased them... looking back I had a tacky attack... but hey sommer is coming and I may as well make the best of it...

Here are some of the fabrics I purchased ...some are from Jo Anne's and some are from Wal-Mart...so far these are all I have for some dresses I plan on making...there will be more later on this month...So far I am liking the flower and paisley patterns...I just need to figure out where I can purchase the fabric with the large prints...
That's all for right now..
