- The absolutely lovely swathes of couture that I have seen lately!
- Inspiring posts from Nicki and Libby, Sitara, and Rose, just to name a few.
- A recent, early spring photo shoot has also gotten me in the artistic mood. I wish I could share the pictures with you, since I think they turned out pretty good, but they're on my private blog and I'm too lazy to upload them all to here as well.
- I've got quite a lot of time on my hands. Perfect for starting big projects!
Anyways, despite all this, I thought I would try my hand at sewing and become one of many people to use the Liberty Jane patterns. I have some lovely, dark military green knit cotton, and some mint green/blue as well, so I will be making some t-shirts (hopefully) tonight. It's some really nice fabric, so I hope I don't totally butcher it.
So, this is my project for tonight. It may possibly take longer than that, though. If I can even get a shirt made that looks like a pillow case with sleeves, I'll be thrilled. So, though the shirts may look horrid, humor me :)
Be prepared for a post showing off my mediocre talent as a seamstress in the near future.

Oh, I'm no pro sewer either. I have killed many things with my attempt at sewing. lol.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteI love feeling "artsy", but usually when I do its at night when I can't take any good photos without ugly artificial light, or I have no good supplies. Or ideas, for that matter. xD

The material you're going to use sounds really pretty! I'm sure your not as bad a seamstress as I am, though. I tried sewing a dress once that turned out horridly, even with the help of my grandma, who is a really good sewer!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your shirt-making and please post pictures of them when they're done! :) :) :)

I can't seem to sew either. :P I'm, by all means, terrible. Good luck on your sewing.I usually don't try sewing. I stick with drawing and painting. Which reminds that I must fix up some old canvases! Well good post..

Srujana can't sew either. She's horrible. Good luck sewing! Crocheting is easier for me, and I like it. I do it lots for fun. Nice post!

You are inspiring me to start sewing a dress like that! This is Lola Bean and I was wondering if you could check out my contest- it's my first one. Thanks!

p.s. the green in the background is really calming. :)
