Actually upset by this..
Right when I convinced my aunt to get me the Singer 160 Anniversary Limited Edition machine, it sold out ! I’m convincing myself that I’m upset because sewing is something that’s a really big deal to me… *sigh*

ohmywurd: I legitimately want to take up sewing. Anyone know where I would start on that? At your house. :P I taught myself by pretty much reconstruction (using old clothes to see how they were made, making simple things look cooler, etc.) Don’t get frustrated if you have some crap projects, everyone has, it’s usually just something people don’t show :P I even have a UFO pile...

So I don't forget.
I want: White combat boots…Because who likes my Army boots anyway? Black knee-high combat boots…Because I retired my buckle-y one. A petticoat…Because it’s floofy. Fabric…Because I need to sew. Lots. For me, for once. Tights, lots of tights...Because I love dresses and tights. Another motorcycle…Because it’s a lifestyle.

I just read a blog...
of a girl that was 5’2, 130 lbs and trying to be 118 or 105 (“perfect under-goal weight”). She only eats about 300-450 calories a day, and works out (jumping jacks and bullshit) so her “net” calories of the day is 50-100 calories. Anorexic, much? I don’t like my weight, but I can’t imagine eating one meal a day and working out (obsessively counting...

Random Rant?
I know a few people who brag about their skills. (Note: skills, not talent) Except, ya know…If you have 18 hours a day dedicated to yourself learning how to sew, make patterns, etc. then it’s not really impressive to me when you make a pattern and a dress perfectly after a few months. Blah. That is all. Just something that I’ve been thinking about - lettin’ it out...

acostlyspirit asked: I went to fashion school for a little bit then decided I didn't like school. I moved a couple hundred miles from home, now I'm working, living on my own and starting on my collection/portfolio. :) I'm moving again, soon, too. Life gets crazy. :)

welcometomyhead asked: I saw you answered my question and I wanted to check out your blog, I really like it:D haha. But, I'm trying to finish this long sleeve shirt I started and all I have left is to attach the sleeves, the instructions say "Stitch dart seam on sleeve. Slash fold of dart to 1/2" from point of stitching." And i have absolutely no idea what that means :/ if you know what this means/...

Exams.
It’s over. Ick. I don’t wanna think about it anymore. I wanna sew. I just wanna move to my new place and finish the dresses. Then I wanna go thrifting and make better clothes.  I need a new project. A huge project.
