When the internet gets me down and my blogging is in a funk, I go old school and make something with my hands...in three dimensions.
Yesterday, I made two skirts for myself and this:
The fabric came from a thrifted skirt that I desperately wanted to wear myself. Alas, it was never to be. I briefly considered liposuction and rib removal, before settling on remaking the skirt into a dress for Vi. I think I made the right decision.


Very cute especially if the weather finally gets warmer!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the recovery time on such a procedure? Would probably keep you away from sewing AND blogging for a while, so yeah I too think you made the right choice.
I've been in sort of a blogging funk too. Thank goodness I've been taking lots of photos and wanting to share them, Otherwise I would have nothing to blog about!
Ahem! Where are the two skirts you made for yourself? I wanna see!!
ReplyDeleteThis dress? So cute! Have I mentioned wanting to sew? Oh it's gonna happen.
I have sew envy! I wish we were neighbors and I could just stop over and have you give me a lesson on sewing, photography, whatever.
ReplyDeleteI love it - the dress AND the photo!
Yes you did make the right decision. It's adorable. I think I need some 3D therapy too.
ReplyDeleteIt is super cute.
ReplyDeleteUm, when will that give away be? In a size 4/5. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so lovely.
In ONE day? I am in awe of you - truly am
ReplyDeleteI may just be the slowest sewer in the world, but the idea of making one skirt in a day, much less two and a dress? Wow, you impress me.
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm not sure whether to feel inspired or depressed, considering that I'm somewhat stuck in a rut, and can't seem to find a why out of my hole of self-pity.
ReplyDeleteYou are one very talented lady. Damn it, I knew I'd lean toward depression. Where is the Nutella jar?
Good decision and very pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is going to have such a wonderful portfolio when grows up.
