Hey folks! I’m back with an icy post that (I hope) will mark the end of winter and the start of warmer weather. Hey – it was actually in the 60s this week in Boston, so anything’s possible!
It’s funny going through these photos, since they were taken back in June. It was the first weekend of summer vacation, and I had just said goodbye to my amazing students the day prior. (Including a very emotional hug with a 5th grader – we had really connected over the past five years, and she was sad to be leaving me to go to the middle school! So sweet!)
I think this is the best garment I have ever made.
I still consider myself on the beginner side of intermediate when it comes to sewing, since I have followed commercial patterns and not much else. But I felt as though my skills got a little more refined with this one, since I adapted a pattern, and had to deal with print matching (a new concept for me!).
It all started when I found this incredible pixel fabric, and knew it would be perfect for a dress to wear to PAX East (on our non-cosplay day). For some reason, I see it as a floral print – but maybe I’m just imagining things? 🙂
Hey guys!
It’s been a long time, I know….but I’m happy to be posting again! I actually have a few outfits photographed and ready to go, so hopefully we can get at least a few weeks of regular posting 🙂
…will you be my Valentine?
I wore this outfit to work on Valentine’s Day, and did an awesome Valentine’s Day circle dance with the first graders. The lyrics above are from the accompanying song! It has been stuck in my head all week… 🙂
