Apr 12th, 2009 Posted in sewing | 2 comments »I’ve finally gotten my Mom to hand over her sewing machine, and I want to learn how to sew properly. I mean, I know how to use the machine, but i want to be able to make like dresses and tops ( at a beginners level).
Yeah, i know it would be easier to BUY clothes, but this much more fun(!!!!!) and added fashion kudos

These are your materials:

Crushed white velvet
Pink rainbow organza
Lavender organza
White lace
Peridot organza
Other supplies:
2 spools of rainbow satin ribbon ( 2 meters each)

You have a sewing machine, plenty of thread, needles, rhinestones, etc…
Here where the fun begins.
Mrs. Smythe-Roberts calls & wants a description of the dress. If she likes it, she’ll pay $7500 & recommend you to all her friends.
Please describe the dress to her as though it were to be worn at a Fashion Show.

Mar 21st, 2009 Posted in sewing | 4 comments »So I’ve been slowly making over my bedroom but I am stuck as to cool decorating ideas. I have a lot of blank and boring wall space (I have family/friend pictures up but that’s not what I am going for). What I really need are a lot of fun, easy, and cheap! decorating ideas that will help bring my room together.
My color scheme is hot pink, orange, and yellow. The kinds of things I like for decorations are vintage/stylized flowers, hearts, and butterflies/faeries. I am also a competent seamstress so any sewing projects/ideas would be great!
Thank you in advance for thorough and informative answers!
I’m 23 years old so I don’t think I have to worry much about growing out of it at this point. And if I do, well I don’t have worry about anyone but myself footing the bill.
