Um...yeah...

For whatever reason, I couldn't take a nap. This is going to suck! I have to be at work at 7 pm and work until 7:30 am! Kill me! Just kill me! I suppose I shouldn't complain too loudly as I will only have to work those hours for about another two weeks.

Here is the Whole Project!

Okay, so remember how I mentioned that I had taken 2 years to complete a set of Civil War Era Undergarments? Actually, I should say that it took me 2 years to compile the items needed to make them; construction time was only about 3 months. Well, here is a picture of all of my hard work! (Almost, you can't see the bloomers under the skirt, but nonetheless it's all my hard work come together! Please feel free to leave comments!

My Blog: The Inauguration

OMG! I have a blog. I used to think my friends that blogged were crazy! Why would anyone be interested in what I have to say? In general, I don't say much about things; unless it has to do with a relatively short list of topics that spark not just an interest but a fire of desire: Theatre, Makeup, Costumes, Sewing and Halloween. They kind of all go together, so depending on how you look at it there is one general topic or several small topics. I prefer to think of the later. I am a nurse by day (although right now I work the night shift) and love to plan projects during my downtime. Some would call them epics because some take forever ! I've been working on some Civil War Era undergarments for almost 2 years! The only reason it took that long is a mix of a hectic work schedule and relatively low revenue for sewing projects of this magnitude. I had to piece meal it and get items as I had saved up for them. Once I had the final piece, the fabric, the projects came together in jus

Snow White Minus the Seven Dwarfs

Thank heaven for Simplicity 2813! This was a very fun project and it went together very easily! This was just a side project that I had to get out of my system since Snow White was the very first Disney Princess not to mention one of my favorites. Okay, who am I trying to kid here, they're all my favorite. Perhaps I was a Disney Princess in another life! ;) This was the first project that I've done that involved a satin stitch (I know, right?! Where have I been?) The red "slashes" on the puffy sleeves are simply applique. It was a lot easier than I thought. I did have some puckering on 1 or 2 of the curves, but with it being poofy I don't think anyone will notice. I still have the zipper to put in, the collar to make and a hem to place, but for the most part it is done. Once this is fully completed I will begin sewing my friend Stacy's 16th century undergarments (since she's finally let me measure her!). I will post on that soon. On a side note, does anyon
