New Look 6774...it's getting there!

So here is the dress that I have been working on for the last couple of months....damn! I can't believe it took me a couple of months to actually get to this point but whatever. Anyway I hope to get two more dresses done by summer so I have some beautiful outfits too rock.

Sorry for the lousy pics but I don't have a camera anymore so this will have to do in the meantime. The instructions were okay but the fabric was a different story. I had such a hard time sewing it together...but I just can't remember exactly why? It's a stable fabric it doesn't slip and glide like silk, or bunch up like jersy. But the process was just too damn difficult and slow. I hated the experience but I am happy with the outcome.

Now the reason I didn't take close ups is because...IT"S HORRIBLE TO TAKE PICS WITH A LAPTOP.... I couldn't understand how to maneuver the damn thing to get a clear shot. Second it would be a little embarrassing, the zipper looks ridiculous the stitching is very sloppy. I mean really sloppy I am just thankful that most of the stitching is hid in. Third there is a section in the back of the dress that is gathered, and it's not suppose to be. So, I decided not to go there.

Anyway that is it for right now. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone,

Yeah I know it's been awhile but I don't think anyone noticed...LOL. Anyway I am working on a couple of summer dresses....yes I know I am real slow. But I am determined, and one of them is actually 90% done. Yay!!!
I am now re-working the second pattern I made some of the pieces way too big. So I have to do allot of re-adjustments.
There is so much going on right now I am amazed that I did get some of my sewing done. Funny thing about life when it rains it pours and I am just getting some kind of light through the clouds. So much drama, it's ridiculous....but life goes on and I be damned too let shitty situations get me down.
Anyway once I get a new camera I will start posting pics...as of right now I will have to rely on my computer cam.
But I will be posting soon and more often if things calm down on my side of the fence. Thanks to all who still read my post...your patience has been a real blessing.

HAPPILY HALLOWEENING!!!!!!!

I know it's kind of early but hey...it's the season... This is one of the first completed projects for this year...although it looks like I won't finish the rest in time I still look forward too getting them done.

Too much, too tired and just "blah"

It has been a long while since I last post here, it's not that I lost interest...but life has a tendency to get in the way. So far I had to make alot of adjustments in my life since my sister is moving into the house so we had to renovate downstairs, which meant allot of moving around for me and my family. She is expecting and she needs all the help, since it will be her first. In the meantime she is driving everyone crazy with her tantrums, crying binges, and other issues pregnant women face while hormones are shifting and changes in your body....not to mention a little human being who seems to dictate your every movement..quiet frustrating...but I look forward too seeing the little one..even though we are going through the muck right now...especially my sister.
Then there is the issue with being patient...I forgot sewing is not just a slapping fabric together and TADA!!!!...but I have to tell you it can be a total bugger...when you have something in mind and it seems to be taking forever to make it happen...I am still working on my third summer dress!!!...Who am I kidding I only finished one ( kind of) and struggling with the other...although I have changed instructors(YAY!).... I still feel stuck and stagnant....
Then there is school...yes I was foolish to go back...I guess I didn't learn the first time!..LOL...get it! NO!
Yup, I am back to school and so far I HATE IT!!! Thank God I am an adult to think of going through this mudane crap again made me realize why I hated school so damn much, the teachers never seem to understand that we don't get this sh*t...that's why we are here to learn...but the f*ck#ers assume we actually have an inkling as to what the hell they are saying....then there is the test...every other moment I am having an anxiety attack because I am not sure if I actually know what I am studying...all they are words that form a sentence and yet I can't translate a f*ck^ng thing...OH YEAH IT"S IN ENGLISH...just not the kind that I speak. WTF!!!!
Who writes these books and why haven't anyone kicked there asses yet!
The biggest issue of them all is Halloween! It's basically around the corner... and I have nothing to show for it....WELL, that's a lie I have been working on making props for that Special Day...but that is also a tedious task that is taking a while....but no fears I am more than determine to finish it and I will...maybe by October 31, 2010.
Anyway I guess I have been spoiled and just expect things to happen...just because I SAY SO!!! Instant Gratification is the best thing in the world...I don't care what anybody says!!!! NOW! NOW! NOW!...Sorry I am having a moment...
Anyway that's it for right now,
A.S.
P.S. I apologize for the lack of posting.

So what I have been up too.....

June has been not only an exhausting month, but extremely hectic. One thing I hate is being overwhelmed with things....not too mention being in school....but all of these things are done and over with...thank god....I do not want to be in a wedding anytime soon...it's way too stressful.

These are pictures from the bridal shower, it was an attempt to do a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" theme but it was done very last minute...but if the situation was too arise and someone want's to have a theme like this done I will have the supplies to help them....For the most part the bridal shower was decent...people got nto the spirit and wore black dresses and pearls...which was great.

This was me...I hate this pic but it was the only one I had on the camera.....

This is my childhood friend who helped me throughout the process....she was great...

Then there was the wedding here is my sister with her new husband...

This is me with a grimace on my face...you can tell it was an event dealing with my sister...

And this is a parting shot of the bride before she left the house.... well that's it for now....hopefully my next post will be about sewing...whenever I get to that.....

Peace
