Designing my butt off
I wish that were literal. I'm dieting, and it's really difficult, but I know eventually I will see some real progress and it will all be worth it!
Lexi and I made a duct tape dress dummy of her to make my figure skate dress making easier. It is a process of wrapping my daughter up in skin tight duct tape (don't call child services please ha ha) then cutting it off. She was wearing old clothes underneath so it wasn't on her skin. After we cut it off we covered the holes with cardboard and filled with batting and kitty litter. I got the idea from Threads magazine. If you sew, you should get it, it's awsome.

So, that was the result. Next time I am putting a hanger in it:-)
I am making a few dresses right now, but this one is getting close to done

It's on the dummy, yea! The trim is pinned here, but I got the top trip sewn on last night, and I am going to glue the rest I think. I have a very pretty sparkly sea green cut out of the same pattern, but need the thread to sew. We are headed back to Hancock right now (they also have a ton of trims for 80% off)
Have a great weekend!
