Day 16 & Similar to a Bicycle





So I enjoyed my outfit today... Can you tell I'm not wearing an undershirt? Scandalous! And I really need to iron my clothes, but many times I'm sitting most of the day... Erg. Well this skirt was reating me a bit better, but it still fits weird, I wish there was an un-shrink button! Anyway as you can tell from these pictures I'm much like a bicycle... too tired. Hahaha. After Kevin and I walked around town, dropped mail off at the post and bought some fabric and zippers for a sewing project of mine. Let me tell you I hate zippers!!! They are the bane of me sewing.





But I did finish the skirt I mentioned at the 30x30 first post, but I made the waist 2 inches too big. So I will have to fix that tonight. And let me tell you I hate my cheapo sewing machine I bought a garage sale. I need to start scouring craigslist again, it stinks growing up with amazing sewing machines... nothing can compare and I couldn't even afford to have my mom's older Viking fixed... doubt I can afford a good used one. So here are some process shots of the skirt.




So yeah. I like to sew, and I love box pleats! Yay! And my dog is cute.

    Love your outfit, you look amazing :)
    And I'm glad you love to sew because I hate it!! I am horrible at it and just don't have the patience to practice and get better :)

    I think the sheer blouse is gorgeous!
    I love it and you totally pull it off without the undershirt.

    Chic on the Cheap
