Works in progress..

Eeeeek! I've been a busy girl! Trying to finish all kinds of projects I started and just didn't have time or product to finish.. Here are a couple of my recent creations. First, a sweet simple summer dress I made for my bestie.. :)
I also made her this one.. and then desided it was so pretty that I wanted to sell a few so this is my newest item available on Etsy!

but the back part is my favorite...

I also finished a shirt for myself that I've had on my craft desk for a while.

And I also just finished doing my very first "reconstructed" shirt! It came out super cute!! I'll post a blog on the full process withing the next few days so you can see the before and after. But for now here is the after..

It has a ton of glitter on it, but you can't really tell in this picture. I plan on taking better after pictures anyway. :p
Here is some pictures of my current works in progress. Don't judge, they aren't done yet.. First up is what I call the "bridesmaid dress" because I am making these dresses for the bridesmaids in my wedding! This is the first run that I made for me.. I even made it big enough to fit my pregnant tummy for the summer.. anyways, its ALMOST done.. I'm just adding some sequins to the front.

Next up is the Christmas dress I haven't been able to finish yet because I didn't have a zipper. So I finally got around to buying a zipper and all I have to do is pop that baby in and finish up the bow!
The picture was taken in bad lighting and on a phone camera so its not the best but ill take better ones after I finish it and put it up for sale on Etsy! Next up is a Minnie Mouse dress I made in just a few hours for a Disney banquet I went to.. I didn't put a zipper in and crammed myself into it and then couldnt get out of it so Ricky had to cut me out of it. Sooooo lesson learned, put in a zipper when the fabric isn't stretchy! :p Anyways, I still need to add the zipper and I am also gonna add some cuteness to it... so stay tuned! 
The last two items I'm going to share but I'm not going to say much about. This first one is the beginning of a costume I'm making for a contest. Its a big time work in progress, and prolly won't be done for a while but its ok because the contest isn't until Halloween.

And lastly, I am gonna show you a preveiw of something I am making for my bestie. She supports me in everything I do and I love her so much. :) I know she is reading this so she gets a lil preview. I ment to finish it a while ago but life has been so crazy lately that I'm barely catching up! Anyway... here is a preview to her suprise. :D its gonna be WAY cooler when its done.. this is just the foundation!
Hope you like it so far Sylvia! Anyways.. all this is just a scratch on the surface of all the projects I have going on. I am also going to be making and selling swimsuits and will have some up very soon for preview and sale on Etsy! My o my, a crafters work is never done! I have a notebook with a list of things (including Christmas)! Better get on it I suppose! :)

Always having fun!
