What a Week!

My dearies, I'm tired.

I sold two bow ties and I'm quite thrilled. If you care to know, THESE TIES!

Also, I got added onto an Etsy treasury list! What?! Cool!

So, I didn't have very many day job hours these past few weeks. But then I got this fateful call this past Thursday from my boyfriend declaring that if I needed a few extra hours of work, I should come in to help the chocolate shop with a monumental order. So that's what I've been doing on top of my usual day job. It's a lot of work hours and I'm happy for the extra cash. Now I can buy ALL THE FABRIC!

Being a seamstress (or trying) is fun. But it can get expensive when you start out. Luckily, fabric, thread, and notions are usually the only things that need replacing. But those are also the cheaper of the necessary items needed to be a seamstress, besides the skills (which can be expensive if fashion school/sewing classes come in to play.)

I recently bought myself a rotary cutter but have yet to use it. So sharp. I only meant to buy white thread(because I was nearly out), and ended up with many things, including books!

I even replaced my missing seam ripper and could finally take this satiny pillow case apart and make these ADORABLE bloomers!

 I got too excited during the sewing process and forgot some very important rules. Pin you edges for neater bindings! (I bought very pretty pearlized heart straight pins too!) Luckily, I have a second pillow case! Great thrift store finds!
Here is a picture of a loose tank top design. Can you believe it was from the same pillow case? Now I can finally walk around my house lookin' like a sexy clown!

Also...
I'm making my cat a dress. That is all.

It is midnight and I will sleep forever. I love you all.
