Sewing

[Meluivan Indil]

I really like the White Dress and the Renaissance outer dress, Ri. They are all beautiful but those two are my favorites.

And Anime if I was more motivated I'd take a picture of my daughter's latchhook set, but well motivated I am not.

Thank you, M. ^^ When I made the white dress, I stayed up REALLY late that entire time, listening to the radio and learned a lot of songs and could sing them from memory. The Renaissance dress, I need to finish.

Anyway. I have a latchhook, but I don't know how to use it. xD Weee...so yeah. And no pallette, either.

Well, Lazy Ri has actually gotten some sewing done! ^_^ Not on any of the projects I had going already, mind you. But I made a purse/pouch today for my sewing stuff. So I'll be running around the house with a pouch with orange handled-scissors, pins, needles, and random bits of thread, just because I can. ^_^ It's made out of the same material as the White Dress and I used baby blue biased tape for a strap. Then I put "Sewing Pouch" on it in blue and silver glitter glue, alternating colors, and a sun with blue and silver alternating rays. I'll get a picture of it when it dries. Then I started on another out of the same material as the Red Robe, but then I got lost on the lining material so said, "Never mind," and quickly made a decision. If my family were to ever go bankrupt, I could sell my material, and we would be back afloat in no time. ;;; I have SOOOO much material, it isn't funny! I was searching for some contrasting material to make a skirt (Simplicity pattern 4966, view E), and I came across SOOOO many different types. xD Some I had forgotten about. o.o I have to make an inventory of it all....but I've decided I want to make SOMETHING out of the extra material from the purple dress with gold sleeves - I have a lot. I could make another dress out of it. xD I might do that, actually.

But yeah.

Another project I am currently working on is a kimono, using pattern 5938. Here are some pictures of the material I've chosen to use for it:

Material for Kimono, lining, and obi belt/sash.

Something awesome. There's a shop down the street from me that sells knickknacks and stuff and I asked the owner (we know her from our old church) if I could make and sell purses in her shop, and she said yes. We'd sell them for $5, and she would get a $1 commission for ever purse sold. ^_^ Yay!!! That's why I need to inventory my material, and make a swatch board, so people can mix and match, and send in requests when I get started. I need a bunch of different styles, too, rather than plain tall rectangles. I was thinking maybe making hearts (that would be difficult, and would require interfacing), then triangle shaped bags (I could copy my sis in law's purse pattern for it) and the list just goes on.

So suggestions.

And requests taken, too. ^_^ lol If anyone wants a new purse lemme know and I'll see what I can do, because I take long-distance commissions. (Anime, I have black velvet with roses pressed into it if you're interested... ) Once I get my material inventoried and a swatch board made, I'll take a picture and let everyone else see it.

And that's my plug for the day....

alot of you know i do caligraphy, and illuminated manuscript,when i get home i'll do one

[Anime Monster]

Oh cool Ri, I'll wait until you have everything ready (put that sounds pretty).

[LadyRiona]

Well, I told some people already, but I inventoried last night....I have 42...different types of material. o.o;; Wow. I cut out some squares, as well. I have to back them on interfacing now, and then get the cardboard, tack them on, and then come up with a system to know what people are talking about...

OMG, it looks like Riona is getting organized!! Call the SWAT team! Call the Bomb Squad! There must be a third party involved. o.o; XD

[Anime Monster]

*snicker* 42 the perfect number. The answer to the ultimate question. I wonder if the ultimate question is 6X7...

Ri, you should just number them. If you number them you'll know which one they're talking about.

[LadyRiona]

Quite possible that the ultimate question could be that.

And yes, I was going to number them....But I was wondering if it should be more than just 1-42....something interesting...add some frickin zeros....like..001-042. xD Or something.
