Hello everyone! No, I'm not dead nor I disappeared on a tropical island... I'm just undergoing a stressful time with my university exams and sometimes blogging feels like too much distraction, so I took a little break from it. I'm looking forward to the half of July, when my exams will be over.
Anyway, a BIG thank you to everyone that commented on my Ginger skirt, you were all so kind! You also helped me figure out that I should shorten the skirt a couple cms to make it more wearable (although I haven't done this yet, ahem).
Today I have a little announcement, something exciting for this blog: I decided to participate to Stephanie's June Challenge which consists in creating four dresses in June. Yes, I'm VERY late (as usual, I might add), so to be realistic I might not make it and finish the last dress in the first week of July. I hope the other participants will forgive me, if that happens. I decided to take part to the challenge in order to keep myself productive: when I'm stressed, I tend to procrastinate a lot and to waste a bunch of time basically doing nothing. This is going to be a nice incentive to spend my free time more wisely and to do some sewing, which usually relaxes me a lot.
These are the dresses I chose:
♥ Dress 101 from Burda 02/2011
♥ Colette's Parfait
♥ Dress 128 from Burda 05/2011
♥ Dress 117 from Burda 05/2011
And these are the fabric choices I've already made:
A blue/greyish lightweight cotton for the first dress. I want to play a little bit with the stripes (you'll see).
More stripes! This is seersucker, I love its texture and the colour gives me a bit of nautical feel (yes please!).
That's it for now, but expect more soon; after all, I have quite a bit of catching up to do!
good luck with creating all your dresses, so far the pictures look great. can't wait to see them! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your dress choices. I wish I had the time to make 10 dresses this month. I'm so inspired by everyone's plans. Excited to see your finished dresses, even if it'll be in July ;). Don't stress yourself and good luck with your exams!
ReplyDeleteI recently sewed dress 101 from Burda 02/2011 and it's the best ! I posted it today on my blog if you want to have a look...
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great style, I'm pretty sure I will make it again.
Good luck with yours :)
