40-something, stereotypical queer cat lady. I have come to scream about stuff I love: U2, OFMD, *NSYNC, MST3k and much more.
I washed the black dress and it shrunk which I was counting on. I added elastic to create more definition. Might add darts to fix the buckling at the arms.
I made darts!!! Never done darts before but a sewing group suggested them and bam!
I made this without a pattern. I used a top I had already and traced it. Need to hem the bottom but !!
Second zipper pouch. I love the boxed corners. This was made out of a thrifted fabric napkin. I love the colors.
My friend came over and taught me how to use the zipper foot on my machine.
My sister sent me money for my birthday. I got this for my office but right now I’m using it directly in front of the window air.
Took about 5 hours start to finish to make this dress. Baby’s first from scratch dress!
I completed the bodice for the dress I’m making. Tutorial video is helping me. There’s something very fun about making clothes.
Bisexual lining! Didn’t do a clip on this one but I’m doing a matching card holder that will have a clip.
A keychain card holder. I’m waiting for my snap gun to come so I can add a snap enclosure.
Made another wristlet. This one has a card pocket inside! I’m getting more confident.
I have never been so intimidated by a piece of paper. This would be so much easier if these patterns weren’t on this tissue paper. They give me such anxiety.
Made this skirt. Took all day. My back is killing me. I still need to hem it.
This was a romper. All I did was cut the shorts off and it’s a really cute top.
Before my dad died, the last gift I made for him was hand embroidered monogrammed handkerchiefs.
Chopped the length and added elastic to the waistband. I love love love the colors. And it has pockets!
