Not a lot Lately

I thought I was getting back into creating but the last few weeks have been very iffy even after I cleaned up my space and made a little bit more room. I really don't have that much space to work with or quiet either whenever the hubs is at home. I try very hard to make what I have work, yet I still find myself wishing for that extra room that I can call my own, ALLLLLLL MINE!

In order to cut out fabric and have a symblance of a table this is what I have to do. Take 6 TV tray tables of all the same height, if they aren't find books or so forth to make the smaller tables as tall as the others. In the pics I only have 5 cause the 6th one had stuff all over it and I didn't feel like moving the stuff. I use masking tape to tape down the corners of the cutting cardboard mat to the tv tables to keep it steady and not moving as I work. Also liberally dot area with curious kitties. The last thing is a must, kitties.









I also finally got around to make a duct tape dummy, FINALLY, I hate it. I'm gonna save up my money and get me a dress form but so far, can't seem to find any that size up to my measurements. What a horrible wake up call. :(


Here is a top I made that didn't come out right because I didn't double check the knit fabric before cutting. The stretch is going up and down instead of side to side. It works as a sleep shirt and a bathingsuit cover up. So I guess it wasn't a total loss. I guess next time i'll follow the directions better too. I found the instructions on Burda Style in the free patterns section. I was also trying to use fabric I had on hand.

Make it STOP!

No wait, don't make it stop, just give me some energy and UMPH! Ugh, this is driving me nuts. Last few nights I've been playing around with a skirt idea, then another one popped up and then another one. Of course some of these ideas I'm sure that they've been done before. GRRRRRRR, I really really need a dress form, dagnabit. I thought about just making a form from just below the breasts to past the hips because that is where I need the most assistance with things. If I do that, I might as well do the whole form then. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to post of new creations after the Thanksgiving holidays! I hope to have atleast 1 skirt done and maybe a wrap as well.
