i got bored

i was sitting here looking for things to sew for my next biggest project but since i was a little tight with money i just decided to use my left over fabric and make what ever came to mind. ive attempted to make a romper once, but making the shorts was a bit difficult. so i decided that id try my best to make shorts since i have a lot of trouble putting it all together. i know its a bit chilly out but hey i actually succeeded =]...im officially excited for summer so i could finally make a ROMPER:

SHORTshorts:

Flannel Fabric: $1.99 per yard

i know im LATE..

i swear this HALLOWEEN was going to be hard since i had so many costumes to make. i started stressing out, i got tired easily but i kept pushing myself for the 1 week span that i had until vegas. BUT there were last minute changes that made me just keep my mouth shut. i went my separate way and made a costume with in 3 HOURS..

at first we were suppose to be the "sailor scouts" [all from the cartoon or should i say anime "sailor moon"] and this is how my work had started:

it started off with the bows:

then it was those complicated PLEATS! the sewing then ironing then pinning then adding the elastic..oh boy it was a struggle:

and with the elastic, heres the finishing product:

the upper area was a bit complicated due to the "sailor fuku" that i had to put together, i had to get everyones measurements all over again and i drew it out to help me better:

after sewing in the white ribbon onto the "sailor fuku" it was all put together:

FRONT:

THE BACK:

the OTHERS:

althought we didnt use these costumes..i had a lot of fun making them =]

after making the decision that we werent going to be sailor moon...we had to keep our options open and make every thing easier since we only had 2 days until our departure. since it was my day off, i did something very last minute.

no i wasnt POCAHONTAS nor was i SACAGEWEA..LOLR

i was just a "NATIVE INDIAN"

and yes i sewed all this in a 3 hour span:

oh boy..its that time again

Ive been doing a lot of research just to perfect the costumes that ill be making for our vegas trip during halloween and every tutorial i find gives me hella different ways to make them and im overwhelmed by all of it.

then again there was one tutorial that showed me how to make the top part of the costumes and i really sat here for 88 minutes listening to this girls thick accent tryna understand what she was saying..and the whole time i was watching...not once did she sew...IDG.

anyways i would lalalalalalalalalalove it if i could just go to the fabric store and find everything i need.

if you havent heard already...this will be us in vegas =]
