I know that a lot of these projects will be pushed to side most likely from exhaustion and work but hey- I'm about goal setting and seeing as how its the first of the month I will share my goals. These goals are more like a goals of the semester instead of just September.
First- My creative side has been OBSESSED with vintage fashion right now. When I was home in July my mom and I sewed a dress from a vintage 60's pattern. It was fun and I was able to learn a lot from my mom about sewing garments (this was my first one!) So I found this really lovely shop on ebay that has the most reasonable prices on vintage patterns I've found after scouring the internet. I bought three patterns and they even reduced the shipping amount so that all three shipped for the price of one! I think they were all about 2.50 a piece and the shipping 1.50. Bargain!! These are the three dresses I'm going to attempt and will share with you the journey-

Dress One-
Don't you just love the girl on the front? So care free and happy in her dress. I imagine making this in a fun color or maybe a stripe. I think I'll omit the tidy waist bow and maybe create a sash instead? I love the fabric on the cover of this... this will be my in between/afternoon wedding/not to casual but not too dressy dress. I may also make a sleeveless one in that cornflower blue. I can't seem to get rid of the underlines on this text. I can't seem to get a decent size picture of the other two so when they arrive I will take a picture of the envelopes. One I plan on dressing down in a jersey knit and the other will be a little black dress.The other thing I'm working on is getting a solid gym routine. I bought Jillian Michael's thirty day shred and am hoping to do it in the morning and then make a gym trip after school a few nights a week too. Back on the wagon for me...
