DAY 57

Me and Erika happened to come to school, both wearing the skirts that I made. It was a really weird feeling, because while I was driving to school, I was actually thinking that maybe there is  this slight chance of her wearing the skirt as well ...and it actually happened. + Bonus Vida had her camera with so we took some photos; ( Photos by Vida Jocif).

DAY 46

Finished product. Just seeing a person wear something that you made..and liking it ..it feels amazing. It really adds another dimension to my clothes-making. So far I have been sewing solely for myself (and well, for my closest frineds). But stressing over your work,  being nervous about the fit, the length, the folds' size..... and have it all pay off. It feels amazing.

DAY 42

Started working on a skirt for my classmate. She really liked the skirt I made for myself ...and already had fabric bought. I think this is going to turn out the way I want it too. no problems so far.

DAY 37

Today I've decided to sew a dress. I've been wanting to try this sheer-panel effect since I first saw it on Project runway all stars. I was home alone with plenty of space and time...so this happened. I've  wanted to create something high-wasted, and not too short. I've used an old leftover zipper to give it a bit of structure and weight, added a sheer panel in between, made a few folds and added a proper waistline. In the end I sewed a hidden zipper in the back ...aaand pockets. I was terified of making them since this was the first time I've made pockets by myself but I think they turned out quite well. Since I didn't have any crop-tops, I had to alter an old shirt to go with it. A bow that I'm wearing is also made by me, but I've promised to give it to a friend, to complete her lolita coord.
