I think it turned out very well, one thing I was disappointed about was the facing, I ironed and ironed and tacked and tacked but I couldn't get it to be exactly how I wanted it. On the plus side, I did really enjoy using the double fold bias tape. I am proud to say I now know how to use it!
Okay, now for updates. I haven't posted in a very long time and since then I have completed a few projects.
After my East Coast trip, I was asked by my dads boss to make a baby bed with bumpers and a comforter. I had made nothing of this sort so I was very nervous going about making this! It actually turned out pretty good in the end though. The customer was happy and I got paid some big bucks! (which was very nice because I am saving up for a Burberry jacket! Ohhhhh *dreaming away!*) I am sorry to say though that I wasn't able to get pictures of it before I sent it away! I do believe some pictures of it were taken though so if I ever come across them, they will be posted. It really did look good though, the customer gave me complete creative freedom! It was for a little girl so I got several fabrics, the main color scheme was pink and orange with touches of blues and greens. I think I coordinated everything very well and can't wait til my next paid sewing project!
After that, I sewed my 8th grade promotion dress!!! It looked great! It ended up just a tad small but the fabric, I LOVED the fabric. I am a girl who likes to stand out in her fashion choices and this fabric was amazing, it was red and itchy but shiny all over!! Once again, I have no pictures but I know some were taken and when I come across them, they will be posted.
I am sad to report that that was the last thing I sewed. It is really depressing. It's summer and I planned to sew a bunch of things, to prepare to next school year and stuff but I have been in a rut lately, not wanting to sew anything at all. We even boughta bunch of fabric from our local store that was closing down and having big sales! But, I am going to have to get over that in the next few days because school starts soon and I need to be sewing my butt off! I started sewing a summer skirt for my mom and I've been working on that for over a month! (sad, really!) and this skirt looks so bad! It was looking okay until I tried to sew the waistband on. Waistbands are another downfall of mine.It really looked so bad. I can't get over it. I think when I get really bored of a project, I start just trying to finish it quickly and lacking quality. Quality not quantity!! So my mom told me to just set that project aside and start working on school stuff for myself. But that first requires to cut out the fabric....well, I better get started. I think I am going to try to start with a dress...with no hem or waistband or anything that might be remotely difficult...hehe...gotta get out of this rut!
