Sewing Flops Abound!

I was inspired by this dress over the holidays from No Big Dill

(Katy's stuff is so lovely)

I thought to myself,

I could try a circle skirt.

All the cool kids say it's easy.

So I followed this tutorial from MADE.

And, clearly I can't do math.

Even when someone else does the math.

MY version of the circle skirt looked like I was hiding a bus underneath it.

Even though the white version was so excellent on her,

surely.

When I wear white, people stop me and try and

defibrillate me.

That's not very festive.

And so I scrapped it.

Then I made this little doodle.

And then...I slit the zipper with a seam ripper.

Dagnabbit!!!

I tried to use some 'stitch witchery'

but it just made my bitchery,

so I guess I have to replace the zipper.

On Organza.

Oh craptastic!!!!

Magic incantations or hot tips welcome.

Formal Wear?

There was a 50% off sale at our local fabric haunt,

and so I found myself choosing strange things.

Why not? Sorts of things.

Like sequins.

And then suddenly I knew why!

I think this is my favorite dress so far.

Simple.

Subtle.

And bedazzled!

Very Liza Minnelli.

OK maybe not exactly Liza.

But Chuckles liked it.

Oh wait, she likes everything.

Except standing still for one second.
