Sewing, future projects

Hey guys! I'v been really into my designing and sewing projects lately since school has ended. I made this really cute Crop top from The Felted Fox that I've had saved in my bookmarked for like a year! I made 2 of these but I like the rainbow one a lot better than the pale pink and white striped one.

 I wore it out to school a month or so ago and got a lot of compliments on it and I ended up wearing to Boston's Pride Parade where I found JuJuBee walking around downtown <3 total sweetie

I started making more sketches for what I could do with the leftover fabric since I still had another yard or so left over. I ended up with 2 really cute looks but only enough fabric for 2 more pieces. I went with the shorts and I'm thinking about making the triangle top or maybe even a halter top instead. This was my first time making a garment with a hidden zipper like this so I got to learn a little bit and it came out pretty good! I just have to practice about making sure my fabrics have a bit more stretch since it can be hard to get in and out of sometimes even though it fits perfect.

After my interview the other day I went to my favorite fabric store because I wanted some new stuff to play with so I got some really cute blue cotton heart fabric and some light blue chiffon. I'm not totally sure what this will turn into yet but I got a small zipper and some matching thread for when I decide.  I drew another 2 designs based on other clothing I've seen and it's very feminine, cute and little flirty.I will most likely make something very "Sweet Gyaru" himekaji type something like this since I'm not super into pink.

I finished making the skirt yesterday but I might make another in a different patter and with a slightly different order of operations since I had a hard time putting it together. I finally learned how to do elastic better so next is to figure out how to use elastic thread and do some shirring!

Talk to you soon with some more projects!
