New Things...

For starters, I've finished Lara's convertible dress. It is just as good as I was imagining. No pictures yet because we haven't met for me to give it to her at this point... Maybe that will still come.

Since I was able to finish that project I've been trying to come up with something new to do. I did take some time off from my things to help Dave record some background vocals for a song he is currently working on. I have never heard my voice recorded... til last night. It was .... , but he tells me it sounds good and I'm just not used to hearing it. We'll see. I am sure that he will get a mix that sounds great and then we can work on getting that song, and more, out there for the world to hear!

As for my projects... I'm thinking swimwear because a while back I bought fabric for this purpose. There is difficulty in this because of the construction without pattern. I think that I can base the basic shapes off of what I already have though. So this is an option. I have started collecting images of things I like or would like designs to be inspired from and this swimsuit from Victoria's Secret is what I have in mind.
What I am interested in trying is the beading and embellishments. I really like this cut for a bikini top as well so might model mine in that direction. Today when I head home I will need to scavenge my old beads and things for decoration that I can add to my suit. That will be fun!

Another project I have been wanting to do is to remake an old sweater into a dress. This project shouldn't be as difficult, but probably as time consuming because I'm thinking to add some crochet work in the areas that will be cut... Here is the sweater as it is now showing lines where I will be making cuts.So the plan is to lengthen the sweater by adding a piece in the lower midriff/hip region and then I want to cut the shoulders out!

Some other projects that could be in the works deal with all this fabric I just bought from a JoAnn fabrics store that was closing. I have a lot of work to do to say the least. haha
