The Dock:





Hey you guys! I feel so productive this week. I cleaned my room, finished a book I was reading, sewed two dresses, took photos, and most of all I updated my blog…all with 5 seconds to spare to save Batman from falling into a vat of acid…ok… so the last part is false…it was really Captain Marvel (SPHhh, like Batman needs anyone to save him.) Haha.

I made the dress I’m wearing out of chiffon…never doing that again. It frays way too much, but with a little help from my good friend Clear Fingernail Polish I survived. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. I hope you like it.

Fun with my buddy:




Hey you guys. Sorry for not posting lately. I’ve been busy with school, BLGH. Only 4 more weeks!! I can’t wait! I’m going to lock myself in my room and sew all day….you think I’m joking. Haha.

My BEST friend Haven came over a couple of weeks ago and I did a photo shoot with her. We ended up laughing the whole time…it was pretty bad, but loads of fun! She’s wearing a dress that I got at Goodwill. It’s a little long on me, but it fit her perfectly. Here are the photos, enjoy.

R.I.P. Foil dress:


Hey you guys, I thought you might like to see…The Foil Dress’s DESTRUCTON…dun, dun, dun!! Haha. I got it back from the Museum of Art a couple of weeks ago and when I got home I had a little fun with it. It was so relieving to get rid of it…but I think my mom could have used a couple of tissues.

P.S. Sorry the video isn't upright, my computer wouldn't let me change it.

Butterfly:




Hey you guys, yesterday I took my camera out and had some fun. I felt like a nerd walking around with this big painted butterfly on my face. Haha it was pretty embarrassing; but hey, you need that every now and then…at least that what I tell myself. I got this romper awhile back at Goodwill, but it was 6 sizes too big. So I made it too fit me. Have a good weekend.

Honey:






This was my first time ever of making a pair of pants (shorts,) that don’t have elastic at the top. :) It’s pretty exciting. I used the Built by Wendy 3850 pattern. I was lost in the pattern for about ¾ of the time. I messed up quite a bit, but I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out. The sweater I refashioned to fit me….XXL in men’s isn’t really my size.

The Cookie Thief:











I’ve been reading a lot of Sherlock Holmes lately so I thought, why not a photo tribune? I amazingly got my little brother in on the action. He’s wearing my trench coat that I made…it was a little small on him though.

David: “My circulation is being cut off!!”
Me: “Just stay there for 2 more seconds!”
David: “I can’t!!!”
… let’s just say I owe him big time. I’ll probably have to put my dog on a diet from all the Oreos she ate. She doesn't obey the command, “Leave it,” very well. I’ll have to work with her on that. Haha. But overall it was a very fun day.

Fun in the Sun:





Hey you guys. I love the cutout-back dresses, so I made one. I finally got it finished! It’s been in my closet, half done for like a month. I’m horrible when it comes time for finishing. I have this half finished trench coat on my dress form that’s been there for 6 months….I probably should finish it sometime. Hope you’re having a good day.
