Well, it’s here. The final day of Sewvember. We’ve had our ups and our downs. Our noodly guitar solos and our dead silences. And I mostly made a dint in my fabric stash.
Today’s dress is maybe not the best I’ve made, but I still really like it.
The fabric is a straight 100% cotton, printed in a gorgeous rainbow rain drop Lady Rainicornesque print. What you can’t see in the photo is the super low back (oooh!) and the little ribbon at the front (eerr!). The belt is just a long scrap of green polypop I had left over. It hides the fact that I completely forgot about pattern matching. HAHAHA, HAVE I LEARNT NOTHING? I am in love with the low back because the sensation of my hair touching the bare skin of my back is just fascinating for me. Sidenote: How weird is the light when I take photos in the morning? That blue is the reflection of the sky on my white back wall, apparently! SCIENCE! *shakes fist*
So this little raincloud dress is getting a 9/10. Perfect little summer dress. Which is what I started this all for!
While I’m not going to stop posting forever, this IS the end of Sewvember, so I want to say thank you. No, really. Thank you. THANK. YOU. For reading and commenting and encouraging and generally being nice people. It’s been cathartic and fun for me to force myself into making things, even when I fucked up.
I don’t even get a BREAK from sewing tonight! I’m going to be at a market selling collars tomorrow here in Melbourne – St Jerome’s Resurrection Treasure Trove! If you feel like coming down, it’s from 2pm til 6pm at 135 Lygon Street, East Brunswick. It’s a bar so you can have a drink! Yeah!
But after that? Oh man, I am going to put the dust jacket on the sewing machine. I am going to clean up my room, pack away the fabric, and have a little rest. Allow the million pin hole wounds in my fingertips to heal. Wear some of these creations again!
So it’s pretty muggy outside right now. I need a whiskey. And I need to get on down.
