dancingleafshortened the little purple top I made for my open house yest. - I made it too long and then rather than shorten it before the event I just folded it up and tacked it into place. Before I took the purple out of the serger I wanted to shorten it. - DONE.
I started up the gold harem pants project. - the serger did not want to be re-threaded with the beige. Took me forever but eventually it cooperated. Finish that.
I want to make a matching top... but don't have very much of the gold fabric left. I have enough for a little halter but... not if I want to wear a bra. And at almost 39, I'm of an age & body type where while I might not need a bra, I sure as heck am not going to go without one in public. I'd sooner wear a padded bra than get a boob job. Maybe I should take a browse through my local fabrics supplier for cups that could be sewn in. Anyone know of a free online pattern for an adjustable bra top?
...... /.\..../.\
===/ \ / \====== something like that.
==================
While I'm working out the design on that - I also have my black bra that needs coins sewn onto it. I wore it last summer without the coins but..I think I'd like to add them on now.
I have red fabric too but... still thinking on that one. have to see exactly how much of that I have.
Plus I had that idea for the little over skirt in the black/silver metallic.
and since that plum fabric is just sitting around doing nothing I think that will make a good test
I ordered some books in from the library - how to make fabric flowers. I'm hoping they come in today. Will give me something to do with the scraps of fabric. Plus Aiyanna needs the flowers for her hair & costumes.
I'm going to print this out and pin it to my sewing room cork board so that I know what I'm supposed to be working on next.=+

Date: 2008-03-06 05:01 pm (UTC)Need to get sewing and make a belt for the April hafla. We're wearing yarn fringe belts instead of the tassel belts this time. And I want to make changed to my harem pants and 10 yd skirt so that it's less bunchy at my waist.
