Purple Lace Dress

This dress was inspired by the burda design #101 2011. The top is lace while the gathered skirt is cotton print.

Yes I'm playing with the effects.

Its Second Half of 2013

Welcome to the month of July everyone. This is the second half. The resolutions that you made during the first half how many have been accomplished? Hmmm. Part of mine was to be better my sewing skills. What kills it is my procrastination. I always postpone things but during the first half I was able to improve on doing what I set out to do.

I have learnt a lesson. I shouldn't just hope to change but work towards that change I want. Perfection is a journey that is done through constant practice. This month at least I would sew weekly ie one garment a week. I have committed myself thus I hold myself accountable.

Project Potential

The last blog post I said about a friend that gave me pants that she thought was condemned. Well I cut it to my size and did a peplum top.Don't mind my frowning at the second picture by the time he was ready my smile had finished. hehehehehe

Trash to treasure

My best friend's inlaw's tailor ruined her clothe that she gave to him to sew. It was just top and pants but the pants had a problem with its structure so in anger she dumped it with the tailor after a long banter of curses on him. My best friend took it but it still had a problem so she gave it to me. I'm gonna convert the rejected to the most coveted. The thing is she just gave me the pants . One womans trash is another woman's treasure.

I am gonna call this Project Potential. Cus I believe it is not the end for this fabric. I am currently on one project though I didn't name it cus no big story there still a story anyway. Saw a style on kamdora site and decided to sew it don't get ideas for the name lol. I feel bad for her all her money just gone like that. For an average Nigerian, you understand what living in Abuja is like. Everything is on the high side as if everyone is a senator mschew. That will be another story.

Project Potential will be after the kamdora.
