Sooo... despite the recent extremely hot weather, living in LA county still has its advantages, one of them being any crafters dream, a place called Fashion District! To briefly discribe this heaven on earth, they have everything any crafter would ever need plus some at a rediculously low price. O happy day!!!
Anyways, a few days ago I went there with a couple friends.. Here is what I picked up for a whopping $25!!
Of course after a score like that, who wouldn't wanna go back and spend more?? So I had to make a deal with myself (because my inventory is really starting to build up on me, making me feel like a hoarder...) that before I can go back and buy more I have to use what I just got (except for the patterns, buttons and trim) and finish 5 other projects! So in an effort to get organized I started to make a list of all the projects I have going or want to do... So far its a page and a half :p... not to mention the 5 Halloween costumes I'm making and Christmas being just around the corner with presents that I haven't put on the list yet.. Sigh.. However I did manage to get started with this "Fashion District Challange #1" as I like to call it :) so here is what I have made so far....
Here is the back side to this dress... I was quite proud of myself because I made this one without a pattern and a small scrap of fabric! I didn't think I was going to have enough to finish it but I did!
I also have plans for all the other stuff except for the two zebra print fabrics which I'm still trying to figure out! And for my 5 additional items I am going to finish a dollie, thank you cards, the lamp I'm making for a friend, a sign and a costume! Alas, I better get to it or else i'll never get to go to district again!! :p
Stay creative!
