There's a Possiblity





Hey you guys! Sorry for not posting a whole lot. I’ve been pretty busy with school and work, (saving up for a new camera). :D I just finished making this dress this morning. I used the retro Butterick 5209 pattern. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. I messed up a little on the back though, but that’s ok…I was going to fix it, but I was feeling rather lazy. I hope you enjoy!

My photos aren’t really anything special. I just went outside and played around pretending I could dance. Haha actually there’s a road right by that field where I was taking pictures and after a while of shooting I notice jogger staring at me. And here I was spinning and jumping around with my self timer on…he must have thought I was a complete loon! Haha.

So a couple of you have asked for some sewing tips so here’s a tip that I learned a while back and it’s really helped.

TIP #1. If you’re working on a project where you have to gather a lot, put elastic thread in the bobbin and shirr it. You’ll save a bunch of time and you’ll get a more even gather.

I hope you’re all having a great weekend!

    your pictures are beautiful as always!
    the dress looks similar to the swing dress pattern that Casey is using for her sew-along.

    Thanks everyone!

    Miss Black - Maybe I am in your backyard! Haha.

    Lucy - Yay for Alice in Wonderland! Haha your comment made my day. :)

    Hannah- I'm saving up for the Nikon d7000. One of my friends had one and he let me try it out and I just loved the performance of it. Plus I'm in a real need for a DSLR...my point and shoot just isn't doing it for me anymore. :(
