Just Some Random Stuff

So, weekends are always my favorite because I usually get to fit something fun in, and actually have some semblance of a life. I sewed a little this weekend on the shirt I'm working on in between studying, so I will post pics when it comes a little further along, preferably when they aren't just pattern pieces in a stack. I did post some pics on the tank top I made a while back below. I did another version with ruffles, but it is currently pinned up the wazoo to help me with altering the pattern, so the full pic won't come until later. I really like how the shape is, and it was super fast. The only part that is tricky was the hand sewing (which I actually love doing), the top stitching (making sure it is all even), and the self-made bias tape around the arm hole.

Me and Megan also worked on our ATCs for a swap we are doing with the lovely Heather. (Don't peek if you are reading this!) Megan's is the first, and mine is the one with the shoes. The great thing about ATCs are that they are small enough that you don't have to worry about filling it up, and really easy and fun to make.

.For the next little while, I'm going to be concentrating on my upcoming test and getting my Halloween costume ready. After going back and forth, I think I have decided on being a 40s girl. I have some vintage dresses I might try out.

Have fun with all of your Halloween preparations! It will be here before you know it!

Thanks for all the comments ladies! It really does make my day!
