sneak peek of the finished top
I know I just kind of fell of the edge of the blogging world last week, but I was a good little worker bee! I did finish my entire outfit for the Bridal shower. Just in time. Literally. I was finishing the last stitches of the bow in my bra and skivvies Sunday morning right before I put it on to leave! These past couple of days I have been trying to wade through the mass amount of thread and scraps on my sewing room floor. I need to tidy up the room a bit and get reorganized.
So this week will be about clean up, assessing what I learned and show and tell for you guys. There were a slew of new techniques and new fabrics that I worked with and I really like of how each piece came out, with a few minor issues.
I am hoping to take pictures tomorrow so you can see what took me so long last week. Although, I have come to the conclusion that I am cautious and slow when it comes to construction. This might be due to what I mentioned above, new techniques and new fabrics. Whatever the reason was, it took me much longer to complete this skirt and blouse. But they are done and I am proud of almost all of it.
Do you also underestimate how long a project will take? Do you find yourself realizing too late that there is a lot more to do before a project is done? Is this when the weepy mess happens ;)
By the way, this whole outfit was made tear free! That is two projects in a row! Woohoo!
Tomorrow I will take proper photos and then I will give you the big reveal :)

That top looks so sweet. Can't wait for photos. Sewing takes time and patience, so you're doing a great job!! I'm not...:((
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Evelyne!!! I am working on photos tomorrow! As for patience, sewing must be the only area in my life that I have it, haha!! :)
DeleteOh, this looks like it turned out beautifully! I'm with you-- everything always takes me way longer than I estimate it will. I've finally stopped doing last-minute projects because I never finish them on time and I always end up stressed out and crying!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?!?! One of my goals for 2013 is to not have any more crying sessions due to sewing! You should join me in this goal ;)
DeleteCongratulations on getting it done in time! I think sewing on a deadline virtually guarantees an appearance of Murphy's Law, at least when I sew haha. The picture looks gorgeous and I can't wait to see the full reveal!
ReplyDeleteSurprising there were only a few things that didn't turn out the way I wanted, but no major disasters! I didn't sew the sleeve on backwards, which I have done before! Nor did I cut through the fabric as I trimmed threads, also something I have done!! :)
DeleteIf we had paparazzi then all the photos would be done already!!! Of course, they would probably be less-than-flattering pictures, right? Hah! Trade one problem in for the next! ;)
