Soooo Sorry!!!

Hello, everyone!!! I'm sooooo sorry I've been out of touch lately. I have been so extremely busy with school that I haven't had time to make much of anything. The semester is coming to an end so I will have more time to craft and sew. Be patient and keep your eyes peeled for more stuff to come. Thanks, everyone. Talk to ya soon!!!

I've Been M.I.A.

Hello, all! I know I've been missing for sometime now. I just started back to school and on top of that my sewing machine is sick. So, I took "her" to the shop and now I wait. They told me it was going to ready last Tuesday... I waited til Friday then they said "she" should be ready by this Friday!!! I just want my machine back in one piece. It's lonely without the sweet sound of her motor. How I miss thee!!! I will be sewing more stuff as soon as she gets out. Be patient with me.

My Futile Attempt at Draping

I've been wanting to try draping on my dress form for some time now. Today, I decided I'd give it a go. I just did a simple cowl neck top with a little rosette in the center of the back for an added detail. It's made from a navy blue, stretch velvet fabric. I think it drapes really well and  because it's a knit I didn't have to do any seam or hem finishes. It turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. (I will be delving into more draping in the future). Hope you like. As always, leave a comment!!!

Who Says Records Aren't in Style Anymore?

I bought these records a few months ago and decided I should pull them out and create something different. So, I made these necklaces and I think they turned out interesting. I'm also working on some bracelets, but I will post them once they're all done. Hope you like! Leave a comment, they're much appreciated.

The End of 2009.....New Year's Resolutions!!!

So, today is the last day of 2009 and I still can't believe how fast it's gone by. It literally flashed before my very eyes! I didn't get around to doing nearly any of the things that I wanted to, but this year it has to end. I must reclaim 2010 for myself. But anyways....here's a list of my New Year's resolutions(I hope I can stick to):

1. Start selling my stuff on etsy
2. Take a trip somewhere, anywhere
3. Start a workout routine
4. Devote more time to sewing/crafts
5. Try not to eat so many late night snacks
6. Spend more quality time with my family


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got Bored

I got bored the other day, so I decided to cut up this t-shirt. It's not perfect, but that's what I like about. Spontaneous fashion-it wasn't planned, it just kinda happened. The back is a cut out design and the front is the results from a bleach job gone terribly wrong. Well, until next time.....

My First Ever Bib Necklace

I've been seeing these bib necklaces everywhere I turn. They're on every corner like Starbucks! I think they're really cute, but they can be sometimes be a little pricey. And since I'm me, I don't like to pay for something I can make myself. Here's my first attempt at one of these little gems. I used a heavyweight black denim for the base, I interfaced it and then used a lightweight wool for the back to hide the stitches. I hand-stitched the sequins in place(no particular pattern) then added some flowers made from a black lace trim and some black satin ribbon for the tie. It was quite easy, but a little time consuming with the sequins. Hope you like......
