i like the dress greenjay!

sooo i am learning how to sew and took my first sewing class on sunday. we made a clutch (very basic and not that cute imo) and a reversible tote. we meeting again this sunday and are making pajama pants!

so i wanted to share the 3 reversible totes i made last night!

i have literally only sewn 2 things before this, so these are my official #3, 4 & 5th pieces ever!



the two on the ends have coordinating polka dot insides and the middle one has a black interior

find a sewing class or a mentor! i know i just started but the bags are NOT hard to make at all. its just a matter of someone showing you the steps and practicing yourself!

Wolfy...those totes are AWESOME! i saw the pic before i read that you MADE them. i was about to ask where i could get one

i love tote bags...i always look at the ones they sell downtown at first friday (in raleigh).

anyway!! i got the CUTEST bathing suit (one piece) and bottoms (the top was sold out haha) from target on clearance. i had also bought this calvin k. swimdress on sale from amazon.com, which was cute (posted a few pages back) but didn't look as good on me as the target suits, so i'm sending it back (it was $60 anyways).

but just an FYI. target has a lot of new swimsuits online but they still have a bunch of clearance stuff from last season...if anyone is looking for bathing suits on the cheap! the one piece i got was $12! and i also got some hipster swim bottoms that are red and white (luckily i already had a black bandeau top that looks really cute with it). a lot of it is mismatched, but i mean...for $6 or $10 the tops/bottoms are hard to beat price wise. and it is always easy to find a solid color top/bottom at a later date to match. i ordered mine for a cruise i'm leaving for on saturday, but now that i know they fit so well, i think i'll probably grab some more on the cheap for the summer!

i know it is cold as shit outside, but just thought i'd share: http://www.target.com/b/10756881

Oh man I used to be a beast at sewing...I reaaaalllyyyy want a new sewing machine!

Those totes are cute and super easy to make. It sucks knowing you can make something, but you buy it anyways .

I need to find my mom's old machine until I get a new one.

omg i DREAM of making my own clothes! right now the only things i am interested in practicing my skills on are bags and purse type things. also aprons are cute too!

divababy, you should polish up your skills and teach young chicks how to sew! the place i go to charges a mint but its worth it, do it!! (my 2 classes cost $160, 8 hours of instruction and all materials provided. 6 people per class)

oh i also want to sign up for some alterations classes, that could definitely save me some money since nothing i buy fits me the way i want!

AND i want to take the class that teaches how to sew this

Self alterations would be tough because of how you take certain measurements....but if you could teach a friend to measure and you sew it could be worth it haha.

That's a pretty good idea. I remember in High School I made a cream linen suit (fully lined blazer and lined skirt) and you couldn't even tell it didn't come from a store.

Aww aprons are fun too...you can make fun frilly ones

I have this really cool idea for a tote/diaper bag in my head that I REALLY want to figure out how to sew, but I have no idea where to start as far as drafting the pattern and making it into a real bag. I should have taken clothing design in high school instead of AP Biology

^^ I'm working on a line of dog clothes for husky puppies, focusing on large chested breeds! [lame] but its been so fun coming up with stuff. Macy (the hound) doesn't mind wearing clothes or be measured, so its handy to have a live in model!

Is there a difference between petticoats and crinolines? I have a bright green one I ordered just because I love them, but it's huuuuge and I would feel silly actually wearing it anywhere. So last year I had a themed costume party just to have an excuse to wear it.

Also, regarding the hair issue I posted about, I realized I somehow hadn't thought of French braids. I am going to try those now as well to see how they hold up.

yeah, i hope the cream won't be too yellow. I have an e-friend that has one of these and loves it. It's gonna look great under my own little sewing project i finished this week...




the fabric is more like this


that skirt took almost 6 yards of fabric!! i have a funny strip left over though.
I've got a black cardi with cream lace i never wear and a michael kors clutch in cream leather i haven't used, though i've had it a year. and cream lace leggings, which i like. this is gonna be one hell of an outfit LOL

I have two aprons and I loveeeeeeeee them

Mine are very similar to these (except the cupcakes look different on mine and the flower pattern on the green one is a little different):





I have only cross-stitched before but I'm sure these would be really easy to make

Might be dating myself but....did any of you ladies play with these dolls when you were little? I was so excited to find them because these are the two that I REALLY remember playing with (besides Ice Capades Barbie). Maya chose the Rocker barbie so she will get that one for Christmas (the other is Orion's). I boycotted barbies for some reason at 7 and did not pick them up and play with them again until I was about too old (about 10 or 11).

The aprons are good quality for the price, and they are great to wash. Plus, the type of material is awesome because it catches things but they brush off really well (if that makes sense). Some of them have towel loops, too

we always got the holiday barbies every year, but weren't allowed to play with them. They had to stay in their boxes cause they were only for looks.

I'm trying to find a pair of skinny jeans. I really hate the style in general (just my taste, nothing against y'all that like and wear them), but it will be a lot easier wearing boots over jeans if I have a pair of skinny's.

So I went and got a size 6. They were wayyy tight, so I exchanged them for a size 8. Well the 8 is huge. I'm talking fall-off-my-butt, saggy-til-my-knees kinda huge. I don't get the enormous difference between the 6 and 8. Is it just the cut of skinny jeans? Should I go back to the 6 and try to stretch them out? The 8's are useless for me, and I am not entirely comfortable wearing the 6's in public (having my bad self-image and all). Any tips on what to do, and where to buy?

Well my experience with denim is that you wanna buy it tight because it will definitely stretch throughout the day (at least good denim will).

Move around and sit down in them and see if that helps!

ugh i have the same problem with my skinny jeans

they fit normal from the knees down but the thighs are tight as fuck and the waist stretches out.. umm hello wtf?? why the hell would you make jeans with a waist that stretches out but make the thighs so dang tight??

im scared to wash them because they finally fit OKAY now (with a belt cinching them tighter at the waist) but im scare i wont be able to get them back over my thighs if i wash them.. must avoid the dryer!
