Watch Out Cuz Here I Come!

I'm a Jack-of-all-Trades. I cook, bake, sew, design, paint & draw, do makeup and make jewelry, just to name a few things. Don't mind my modesty, LOL but seriously, one of the organizations I'm involved in on campus just recently had an event and I made a "traditional-ish" dress for it. I think it turned out FABULOUS!

My wig goes nicely with this dress doesn't it!

This is the second dress that I've made. Talk about resourceful, the first one I made because I had taken material to a designer to make me a dress [with full color sketches of what I wanted] and when I picked it up it was NOTHING like the pictures I had drawn. I was FURIOUS! So I tried desperately to get it fixed by another dressmaker, but no such luck.

Guess what I did then... I bought a sewing machine from Walmart and spent all night [the night before the event] and made the dress. It turned out pretty good.

Can't really see it, but the skirt is made of layers.

After this first dress I became motivated to make more, I went through my mom's storage of fabrics and took some of her patterns. All with the intention to make amazing clothes...from the looks for things I've been too busy with school to find time for that. Maybe this summer and post grad year...

We'll see what the future holds.
