Sew excited!

10.08.12

I love me a cheesy post title.

Does anyone else make birthday goals instead of new year resolutions? Just me? Okay.

One of my goals for this year is to get my craft on. I’ve spent the summer altering a few things I already have, but I’d like to expand my skill set a little and try making my own clothes; not just Halloween costumes, but stuff I’m actually willing to wear out in public. I’ve come across a few easy looking tutorials here and there, but easy is a relative term seeing as how these girls have mad sewing skills and I’m the kind of girl who resorts to safety pins, glue and duct tape if need be to get the job done.

I ordered the above fabric from here. They were running a 20% off special so I scored most of it for $4 or less per yard. If it works out I’ll have several cute tops that cost less than a few bucks each! Woo to the hoo!

I also ordered several yards of white oilcloth for the kids’ craft table and a half yard of gold velvet that will live its future life as a pillow on my cozied-up-for-fall couch. It’s gonna look hot.
