Good evening folks!...again I miss the entire boat for the MeMade thingy this year; although I wear my work every day.....I just don't have time to take the pictures!...*damn*...oh well, maybe next year...Anyway, 'tis post is about a dress that I thought I wasn't going to be able to whip up...its so warm and/or hot here like all the time so I didn't think I'd get to use the fabric until the "cold" comes back....reason being the dress I did get make afterall is sewn up with sweater knit....it finally rained pretty good around here so I hurried up and made one; although it was still on the warmer side.....I have a few sweater knits in my stash but I wanted to sew with the Black knit for some reason (its so super soft maybe?).....
Pattern came from my stash; Simplicity #8479 One Hour dress pattern....I got this pattern on one of my thrifting trips....I made view 2, size small....folks must have been a little more thick back in the day because I ain't been a "small" in quite some time!
(laughing a little bit through my pain;<~~~I'll explain later)....
I believe I'll be using this fabric again to make a pencil skirt too...I have enough left but next go 'round I'll be reversing the fabric....I loves me a two-sided fabric....Got a few ideas swirling about a two-textured fitted dress too....I found the fabric at my local Hancock's of course....it was kinda "unravel-y" but it was a breeze to work with....
Sewing bags is my first love for those that don't know.....this time I decided to show one off although all my bags and wallets are made by me.....the one I'm holding I self-drafted....Super easy to make and embellish.....I LOVE BAGS AND SHOES like seriously and I felt all right being able to just be myself with my stuff.....Sewing is tight like that.....pretty awesome I tell you what! (in my Hank Hill voice; I'm watching 'em right now).....My friends kept trying to take my stuff outta my bag and replace it with theirs...Maybe one day I'll go on a sewing spree and make 'em all one....Okay pictures now.....
