A dress and a radish!

My sister has blackmailed me into making a dress for her. Which is surprising because I'm pretty sure I've never been involved in anything remotely blackmail worthy, either way I was flattered. Thus I started on a dress for her graduation and I've got about a week left to finish it up, but here's some pictures of the design.

This is the back piece along with the half finished zipper.

The rest of the back of the dress.

The front.

Also the front.

That's about it. I'm just hoping the whole thing fits together. I'll probably cry otherwise.

I promised you a radish.

It came from Hylinn's parents garden and it was delicious!

Updates! Updates!

I'm dying!

That's an exaggeration, I have a cavity.
We finally got our health insurance cards since the job switch. The needed appointments were piling up, so I've been a scheduling fiend and neglecting all other aspects of my life. Hooray!

I'll do a for reals update tomorrow with pictures and all! Le gasp. I have pretty things to show you.

Fini! Almost...

*

Almost, I didn't plan ahead very well.

I started this project without picking out all my fabric. So hopefully the fabric I ordered today goes well with the rest of the shirt or I'm fucked!

Ok, that's an exaggeration, but you get what I'm saying.

But all the sewing has gone off without a hitch. Things are looking up.

Sleeves are becoming not a pain in the ass.

Collars are the next project to tackle. This one isn't too hot.

Kinda plain.

*-Eventually I'll need to come to the realization that I need to hire a model. One day.

Sewing Project 5!

And the second project I've actually showed you! Hooray! I should do a round up of stuff I made last year... We'll see.

But here it is!

Sorry for the super awkward picture.

I tried, I mean really tried to take pictures of this shirt on a hanger, but they looked terribad. It is at this point in time impossible for my to take pictures of clothing on hangers.

Here's some close ups of my stitching, this is the collar. Not the best stitching ever, but I want a record out there if and when I start making progress. And I like being honest with you guys!

Here's the sleeve. This being my first project with Robot I used a different stitch for every part to see how they looked. Some were so tedious to rip out, so I'll make sure I've got my shit together before I use those again.

My next project create my own pattern! Away!

All Better

After much love and affection, an organ replacement and electronic therapy, my computer lives!

Unfortunately I've gotten so used to using Hylinn's computer that despite the fact that my computer is glowing with healthy vibrance, I've been ignoring it for the stability I've associated with Hylinn's computer.

I'm sorry dear computer.

I haven't forgotten! Here are some pictures of the dress I made.



Here's some of the fabric in the middle of being sewn together.



Here's a close up of my sweet ass stitching.

A footnote to this, when I get involved in a project I like I run with it. Thusly I almost completely forgot to take pictures as I did this. So it's hardly a step-by-step, but a rough idea of what I did to get to the place where I could wear all the fabric I brought home.

I'll have a picture tomorrow of me wearing the dress, as well as a picture of the shorts and hoodie I made.

Hearts,
