Outfit No.9

More sewing has ensued since yesterday. I repaired one dress today and altered another that I've had sitting around for awhile. That is the one I am wearing today, and here are a few pictures!

Sew...What's Up?

Sorry I can't help myself with the puns!

Sew...it all started yesterday. I went shopping at a store called Clothing Warehouse. I had conceded to the idea that the scavenger hunt that is vintage shopping was going to be a bust that day. But right before I was about to leave, I found this dress. It was "The One." You know, like, the chosen one. Perfect fit, awesome style, adorable pattern...only problem was a huge 6 inch tear in the waistline. They were so nice they gave me a 30% discount on the dress! So I bought it!

Well today I started to think about how many things had piled up that I needed to fix ever since my old sewing machine broke, so I went out and got myself one of these new fangled contraptions. The newest sewing machine I've used was made in the 70s-80s, so I was like, nothing fancy, nothing digital...just simple. As a Singer fan, I must say that so far, this Brother machine is fantastic. I am blown away by the automatic threader and small blade on the front that cuts the thread eliminating the scrambling around for scissors. (Doesn't take much to impress me does it? lol) And threading it is so easy I was sitting there going..."Did I miss something"?

 

Anyway, needless to say, I ended up sewing some curtains and fixing my dress all in just a few hours (as well as rearranging the furniture in my entire house...but we'll get to that some other time).

And in conclusion...playing around with the camera, I really liked the way this photo below turned out, sooo...new profile picture yay! 0:)
