Biweekly Project; One step left. It is currently wearable =D

Finally got the bulk done on this project and I’m proud! Tomorrow morning I’m going to do the hems, because I have homework to get to today.  I’m gonna go ahead and call this one complete, because it is wearable at the moment [obviously]. I couldn’t have picked a better fabric for this project if I had tried, seriously. That fabric is completely perfect.

I love this skirt and I’m so happy that the weird seams worked out for me. I thought they looked odd, but I guess it was supposed to look like that.

What did I learn?

• I’m not certain if I did the whole attaching the yoke to the skirt, and the casing to the yoke. But I figured out a way that it looked pretty and it looks right.
• I started to get straighter seams there after the mid point. Hoorah!
• I learned the right way how to make an elastic casing.
• How to actually complete a sewing patterns
• How to consult directions every 15 minutes
• How to rip seams A LOT.

Now I actually have a skirt i can wear! I am so happy and I’m planning to wear it to work tomorrow after I get that annoying hemming process underway and completed. 😀

Biweekly Project; Update!

K, so I’ll admit I haven’t been the best of girls this 2 week span. But in my meager defense, school work and studying for math to get myself out of the remedial class range. But, I have been working on it and plan to finish it either tomorrow or Monday when I get off work. :3

Today, I pressed my center seams and did two lines, one on each side of my seam at 1/4″, because I’m paranoid. I feel like I screwed  up because I derped really hard and equated Stitch length with tension. I figured out my mistake for the back, but the front has stitches 4.0 with the tension at like 3 or 4. Then the back has stitches at 2.5 with tension at 5. I’m disappoint. But it’s kind of early and I’m still a beginner.

I got my side seams pinned and if not for boyfriend wanting me to play minecraft I would sew the sides right now, but I’ll get that tonight and the yoke ready. Then before I retire this evening I’ll most likely get the main skirt pinned to the yoke. I’ll be updating this gallery, most likely.

Guys I am so sorry for the lack of updates. I haven’t forgotten; just been studying. :C

PS; next paycheck I’m considering buying an actual domain with wordpress 😀

UPDATE; I pinned my yoke to the skirt after doing my side seams. BUT I KEPT SCREWING UP AND SOMEHOW DOING WEIRD STUFF WITH MY YOKE. I’ll try again tomorrow. I’m kind of heart broken but making some great progress. :3

Side Project? Done!

I finished the outfit today and it didn’t come out QUITE as planned, and I realized that I made myself a grownup powerpuff girls outfit. Ah well. It’s cute and I’ll look like a frilly Bubbles if I must.

I went outside and snapped some photos and I think my least favorite thing about them is my face. Like. I don’t know. But I almost never like pictures of myself, so I guess that’s to be expected. xD

Also, have a bird. This little guy hung out with me for the duration of my “shoot” and let me get fairly close with my 18-55mm lens. 😀
