Empty Promises/Nude Creations

I always write about projects that I've started on the blog and then promise to show you. Then they turn out terribly and I'm so embarrassed I never show you. Last time I said I was working on some graffiti inspired art. Well here it is in all it's glory. It turned out to look like really bad '80s contemporary art not even worthy of hanging in my dentist office. (Sigh, c'est la vie)


Today I went to the library and I decided to take one of my creations on a walk along the way. It is finally warm enough to wear the clothing that I've made over the cold spring. It stretched a little as I continued my day, but other than that it was great. I got 2 compliments, which is always nice.

I always feel like I'm not wearing anything, when I wear something I've made. It's as if anything that I've created can't be any better than a sheet or towel wrapped around you and people are probably thinking that I'm just wearing a bunch of fabric draped over myself. So I basically felt naked while at the library.



(So my parents are planning on putting the house up for sale and my boyfriend knew about it before I did, and I live there! (sometimes) grrrrrr)

left overs

So today I decided to catch up on my magazines. I had a couple of months worth of Vogue, Lucky, and Elle magazines. While reading these wonderful magazines I got very motivated to sew.

Sew I decided to make a bubble dress and I made it way to long. whoops.

Here it is folded under.



Here the bottom part of the dress is folded under at my waist to make a top. I added jeans and it I know it looks like the above picture but take my word for it, that it is much shorter.



So I have an idea for another dress I really want to make and it is coming soon. Today I just decided to make this dress with some left over fabric and it took an hour, so no big deal.
