Sunshine

I was bored today and i didn't want to study so i decided to make a dress with the material that i just bought. i went for my weekly dose of op shopping and while none of the clothes really appealed to me, i found some cheap material that would be good for practicing dress making. i also got some books, The Secret Life of Bees, a baby sitters club book, an Emily Eyefinger book and this friendship book with cute pictures (the pictures are a little too cute for my liking but i like the look of them and i was thinking of putting them in little frames that i could hang on the wall. I miss Emily Eyefinger books, they were awesome and the idea was so cool, made me wish that i had an eye on my finger, life would be so so much easier and not to mention more fun. if you can read some of the words on the little friendship book, its pretty lame, i mean the message is good, its just the way they have written it is very mushy.

Anywho, the fabric i bought was quite cheap so it was ok if i screwed up the dress, which with me, that is what usually happens. i just need the practice so my dress making can get better and hopefully i can move onto more complicated things. actually i've always wanted to start a clothing store but i don't have the creativity or skills to do such a thing, so i was thinking when i am really rich, i can hire people to work for me so i still have my business but i won't actually be involved in the making process, like Mary Kate and Ashley but obviously way way way less talented and rich. i have an obsession with peter pan collars so i thought i could try making them, otherwise the dress would look very boring.

i'm still not happy with my peter pan collars, i dislike sewing curves because i can't properly control where the fabric would end up. but i think this one turned out ok, i just need to make it more rounded. i think this is a huge improvement on the first dress i ever made, which i don't really wear anymore because i constructed it very badly. oh yeah this fabric was a bitch to work with (though not as bad as some fabrics) because the edges kept curling which i had to constantly straighten it out which got quite annoying especially for an impatient person like myself. oh and the back of the dress looks like the front, if you guys are curious. i was going to add sleeves because i don't like showing my arms but then i got lazy. 

I don't think my posts are going to get any more interesting any time soon, i find myself in a rut and having no idea what to post about, so i apologize for any future potentially boring posts. 

Love Squealer.
