DIY hair bow and dress, f21 blouse and tights, urban outfitters shoes

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! I apologize for the lack of posts. I’ve been working and going to school with midterms and papers in between. It’s a bit stressful but next week I have a short break!

I made the hair bow and dress last night. I am extremely pleased with the result. I was actually hesitant to make it since I thought I didn’t have time to but it yes I did it!

hiatus again

last sewing project (vintage reconstruction), 2007

This weekend is going to be super busy so I apologize in advance for any lack of updates. I'm working all weekend, remodeling my room (which is unpredictable since California's gloomy weather does not permit me to paint), and sewing (!). I have a couple of dresses in mind in which I'm going to make so that I can wear for my bf's birthday next month. So excited. I'll be going to the fabric store tomorrow to purchase fabric (black and cream- like always). Wish me luck as I dust my Hello Kitty sewing machine cause it has been awhile since I've sewn anything but the occasional hemming and fixing.

The photo above is of a vintage reconstruction dress that I did awhile back (okay a long time ago!). It was an awful vintage dress in which I was drawn to it's simplistic pattern.

started sewing again

I finally found the time between school and work to start sewing again. I've been lagging on starting my ebay store since for most of the items I need to touch it up. Sooo I finally present to you one of my reconstructed creation from an old vintage $1 dress from jet rag :

after:



I decided to keep this dress, but don't worry I'll reconstruct all the other dresses the same way if you guys think its cute =)
