The 20s dress. It's about 80% done and I'm already bored. To be honest, I was just working on it until my secret project and paletot fabric came, which they have. I'm going to start on the secret project today and take it up to school with me to work on. *squee!* I can hardly stand the cuteness of it!

Last night... was one of the crazies nights of my life. I'm a good kid who enjoys not being in trouble. I get straight As. I have a full scholarship. My friends are essentially the same. 

Put 5 asian kids and 1 white kid in a 5 person car, blast K pop, get boba, send them hurtling down the street right past a cop, then scream "GET DOWN! GET DOWN!" to the person hiding in the back.

You will get pulled over.

And it will be HILARIOUS.

Naturally, you promise to help pay the driver for the ticket you all caused him to get, but gee golly was that funny! And did I mention we had just left a Star Wars party? Under my trench coat I'm wearing a metallic bikini top and burgundy loin cloth. Luckily our friend who was decked out as Darth Maul didn't come too. Or maybe he should've, just to add to the ridiculousness of the situation.

Got home at 12:30. I'm still exhausted. But looking back with fond feelings at last night. :]

MY FABRIC CAME!!!!

I know have my secret project fabric and paletot wool! YAY! I don't know what to do first!! :D I think I'll do the secret project first because I'll be wearing it for Halloween most likely, and I already have the lining for it. The paletot lining I don't have, and I just spent so much money on fabric that I think I need to hold off for a while. However, a nice big 50% coupon for Joann just came in the mail, so maybe I won't have to wait too long... ;-)

Also, the 20s dress I started this morning is well on its way to being done! I still need to pattern and cut out the sleeves and figure out the necktie, but the bulk of the work is done. Or almost done. The second skirt panel needs to be put in. I'm still deciding what if I want to put the tabs above the skirt panels like I had in my design. I kinda like the way it is plain! But then the dress might be too plain so I don't know... I'm also having issues in the shoulder area. It's just too big... I might be able to gather the neckline a bit to pull it in, and then have the neck tie cover it up. We'll see. Gotta play around with it.


Yellow silk twill for the secret project, red wool flannel for the paletot:


20s frock with one skirt side panel in and no sleeves... The fabric is striped silk charmeuse and looks less cheap in real life! The flash did bad things to it. :[

Which means I bought fabric for a new dress. But I really do need a 20s dress! Like, really... It's not my fault, I blame koshka_the_cat !!!

It shouldn't take very long to make either. A fun, easy project to work on at college. I still need to get at least the red silk dress done before I leave though. So enough typin
