Blah

Catchy title huh?
Anyway it pretty much sums up how I have felt the past few days. I haven't been around much this past week because I've been sick and my usual blog time has been spent blog shopping. Yes it's true, after 3 years at this blog I've decided to relocate. I started this blog because of my online stores but now that I am not selling online (or offline sadly) I can't justify paying the blog fee here.
I've setup a couple mock blogs on WP & Blogger and am checking them both out to see which one works best for me. I'll post whichever one I am going to go with when I officially move over. I've still got a few months though here so I'm not rushing. :)

In the meantime, I got some new patterns!!!

And went to this wonderful little fabric store for some more voile.




Garment sewing is quite addicting. I have already started on a new top but since I got sick I haven't felt like sewing lately.
Maybe later this week I can get back on it.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. :)

 

3:52 {Kwik Sew Top}

 Everyone kept saying "baby steps Staci" start with something easy like a skirt....
As some of you know though I'm rebellious and had to kick off my garment sewing with darts, gathers, ties, and other stuff I can't even remember.


I have had this Kwik Sew 3376 pattern for a while now and decided to dive in feet first and whip it up.
It didn't turn out too bad and really wasn't hard to sew. The end product just needs some tweaking, although I'm not sure how to go about it yet.


I think once I learn more garment techniques I will be able to fix the funky bust gathers.
For right now though I think it looks best hanging up.
Here is a photo of it in use for any of you curious people. Please excuse the mess in the background and fogged up mirror. I'll replace this photo once I get a remote for my camera...
