I finally finished it! :) I love how it turned out, especially how well the lace went in. I followed Tasia's tutorial for inserting the lace and it was so easy! Also, I'm definitely getting the hang of doing zippers by machine. I'm going to give it a go on my next project :)
As for the photos. . .I'll get the hang of it eventually! I'd go for Patty's superhero pose but it doesn't look right as my arms stick out too far because I'm so short waisted! Bah, ah well. I suppose its the clothes that you're interested in, not the funny half smile I'm pulling.
Also, new shoes!! I loved how cute Tasia's Keds looked with all manner of dresses and skirts, so I finally got round to getting some. I found mine on ebay for £15.25 with postage. Certainly cheaper than the £26 and upwards that other places were charging! I inspected them and they were indeed brand new as the listing said :) As they're navy, they don't really look right with jeans so I'm hoping this will encourage me to wear more skirts and dresses.
I'll take some detail shots soon, as the batteries were low in the camera and I've no idea where Dom keeps the charged ones.
More soon!

Looking really good!
ReplyDeleteAre zippers on machines hard? :S
Thanks! :) Not when you know how. I'd always struggled before because I was lazy and didn't pin them first. It also didn't occur to me that there is a specific seam allowance, so everything was a bit wonky too! lol So I was a bit scared of them as they always *seemed* hard, but I've learnt alot since my first couple zippers so I can't wait to try one on a dress! :)
