I hope your plumbing problems will be repaired soon. And that dinasour skeleton is amusing! That's Elmo you're carrying, right?
On top of those, your Ida dress looks perfectly. You look lovely in it. Do you really prefer dark colors? I just noticed that... How long did it take you to finish the dress?
uhhhh thank you so much for the compliments ❤️❤️❤️ And no I also love bright colors, but then I think they do not suit me and I end in something darker. And with the fabric (and its colors) I use I am a bit restricted as I mostly use fabric from the scrap/bargain box in our fabric shop, because fabric is super expensive here. If I could I think I would love things in teal, mustard, pink or a dark brown-red :-D
And I was not fast on the dress (but someone who is no beginner can do it in a day I think) I divided the process: one day I traced the pattern and cut the fabric and stared to finish the fabric. Then I sewed everything. The finishing touches as sewing the bottom seam was on the third day.
Do you like to sew yourself ?
And the bathroom is better :-D My husband repaired the shower, but the rest should be done by the landlord...
I would love a dark brown - red combination or the shade of maroon. I actually bought one.
Yes, I like sewing though I am not an expert one. Unfortunately too, my sewing machine broke few months ago. I am yet to find someone to repair it.
I think you are still fast to finish a dress in three days. I am also not an expert and it would take me longer to fin8sh a whole dress. My biggest challenge is on the measuring and cutting the fabric. There were instances when I cut short and ended up with a small outfit for someone else. 😄
It's good that your bathroom is better now. 😊
oh nooo, broken sewing machine is no fun. I hope it is not too expensive to repair it.
And for me the measurements/fit of the garments are also a big obstacle. I think my proportions are seldom met in bought patterns (but perhaps nobody has an 'easy' figure). I always have to adjust so many things, and I find this really tough.
Dark brown red sounds wonderfully <3 I have a dark brown corduroy in my stash and I am thinking of making another Ida Dress, but this time with a gathered skirt part.
Perhaps you will write about your dress, that would be lovely <3
It is the hinge of the machine that is broken so it is totally detached from its casing and the wheel. I bought it more than a decade ago so I guess the damage is due to age already. Yes, I also hope it won't cost that much and I hope its parts are still available in shops.
Oh, write about my maroon dress? Hhmmm... I bought it so there is not much to say about its creation. Let me see if I can find my photos when I first wore it. Maybe I can use those for a post. 😊
It sounds exciting to see your next sewn dress. 😉
