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..

I'glad that you are hanging in there. Come and join the plus size sew a long at Patternreview.com. You may have to join to post but this is a great group of women who can help you with your fitting issues. I have started sewing more since it started. There is a lot of support at this site. If you search the web, you can find a lot of free advice on construction techniques. Youtube has a lot of sewing videos for visual learning. Please buy some cheap muslin or ugly fabric to test patterns before you cut your good fabric. You will end up much happier with the finished garment. Hang in there.
You picked up some pretty fabrics!
You've chosen some gorgeous fabrics! I agree with Towanda, there is an enormous amount of support out there and you know you can do this. Take a big, deep breath and keep going - you'll come out the other side and be so proud of yourself.
Love Love Love your fabric choices! I've had a few failed projects myself. Take it in stride and you will have a fabulous FO soon!
Nice summer choices! I love floral prints.
Thank you ladies for the comments...I should have a dress made with one of these fabrics done by the end of this month.
You have made great progress on your spring/summer dress. The color is beautiful. I'm glad you are able to get the help that you need. It's unfortunate it's at a price. Back it the day when more women sewed, they helped one another just because. Too bad the sewing bloggers live so far apart.
Anyway..., The fabric cuts are beautiful. Every one of them. You making me want to go shopping. lol
I love that fabric. I have to to make some summer dresses.
