It worked!!!!

So my hobby/business is starting to take shape. I made my adorable ruffled tank top last night, however I didn't get to spend anytime with Mitch other than talking back and forth through the hallway about what he was watching on t.v. but anyways it turned out so cute!!! I wish that I wouldn't have cut the back of the neck the same as the front of the chest but I will know next time!! It was so much fun to wear it to work like I just went shopping last night or something!!! I can't wait for more things that I make to add to my wardrobe and collection for other people!! I am sooooo excited!!

Undies, Undies oh how they love the undies!!!

Well I was wanting to make some undewear and got the idea to practice my boyfriends(Mitch) old work t-shirts. So I took a pair of my granny panties and tore them apart to get a pattern. Funny thing about that is Hanes completely did a horrible job on cutting these out and sewing them, (we really should inspect what we buy.) Anyway so I just kind of made my own pattern using mine for something to go by at least. His t-shirt had a pocket on the front so I thought it would be so cute if I put the pocket on one of the butt cheeks. Awesome idea!!!! I put them together and sewing the elastic lace onto them and TADA new undies. I tried them on and they were actually just a little to tight on me because I sewed the elastic a little to tight. But practice makes perfect!!!



I was so excited to take the new undies to work and show my friends!! They absolutely loved them. Jodie had to bring in her boyfriends company t-shirt for me to make her a pair. Eargasm Audio/Video!!
And Barbara had to bring me her husbands BBQ business t-shirt that said Hawg Wild!!!
Way too cute!!! But Both turned out great! Barbara said they were the most comfortable undies she had ever wore. woohoo for me!!!

Just a little glimpse of a corner in my world!!

This is where all of the sewing is taking place. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, especially my hanging master piece of fabric organized by color!! hee hee

My own Dummy!!!

Okay so I have constantly been looking for a sewing mannequin but they are outrageous, if you didn't know!! So I came across this tutorial on the internet to make your own duck tape mannequin. Luckily my wonderful boyfriend wanted to help wrap me in duck tape, part of me thought it was sweet the other thought he was enjoying torturing me way to much!! All in all the dummy got done (the actual dummy not my boyfriend) and I was actually very very pleased with it. I ended up putting it on a a old coat rack stand with it wrapped around a old pillow for shape. However it keeps coming undone from the back seam so I'm constantly re-taping it.
