Busy, busy

[frualeydis]

 Well, it's not only because I'm busy doing stuff that I haven't updated for a while, but I also get a lot of pain from sitting in front of the computer, so I try to limit my time there. Doesn't really work of course, but it's a try.

Apart from grading A LOT and planning next year's semester I'm busy re-making clothes, and also making new ones. Theer are so many that I have to re-make that I try to uphold the rule that I have to re-make one for every new garment I make.

During the weekend I remade one dress and made one new:

Re-made:

And a new one:

 

The first one is made from vintage cotton which I got from a friend, this is how it looked before.

Today I've graded tests in fashion history but I also re-made a dress that I made five weeks ago and which was way too big. I plan to wear it to Inger's place for Midsummer's eve, so it was high time to fix it. I also made something new: a pair of shorts from light blue cotton twill which I once got from my dad. I made a pattern by drawing after a pair of jeans shorts which are slightly too big and tweaked it. I think they will look very good on, but I didn't have a matching zipper, so I won't know that until tomorrow, or Friday. Tomorrow I'm going to the dietician in the afternoon and in theevening I'm celebrating full moon with my coven, so I'm not sure that I will have the time.

Anyway, running out of time for writing too, time to read for Maja.

Oooh! Both tose dresses look so pretty, and I love that you have such cool shoes to go with them.

It's a shame you couldn't keep the neckline of the pre-remake one though, it was so sweet.... but I guess this way you get to enjoy two pretty styles from the same dress.

Yes, it was very sweet. I guess I could have kept it, after all I made a totally new front of the dress, but I never felt really comfortable with it. Ironci, considering how fond I am of everything sweet.

It isn't like the new version isn't sweet in it's own way, and you got to keep the puff sleeves.

I love puff sleeves. They are sweet - and they make my shoulders look wider, balancing upp the hips.
