so, today is Monday, like in case you didn't actually know that ;P, and i just happened to be in a sewing mood... O.o
That doesn't happen very often, so when it does happen i always rush to take advantage of it. Therefore, today when i was dressed and deciding what i wanted to do today, i decided that today was the perfect day to tackle all of the random projects that i had been thinking of doing the last week, but had never actually gotten around to doing...
So, i got out all of my materials and ideas and everything else required for crafting days, and got to work.
First, i decided to make myself a new swimming suit top.
i don't like wearing one peice suits, as they are uncomfortable to me, and i don't like bikinis and besides they're not modest, so i always wear tankinis. however, i won't wear them if they don't cover my stomach, as it's akward. so, as my swimming suit from last year was too short, i needed a new top, and not finding one at target, i decided to make myself one from my old one peice swimming suits. so, i cut off the bottom of the swimming suit, cut off the straps to my old bras, put them into the swimming suit, sewed it all together, and made myself an amazing 'new' swimming suit top XD
This is my second try, which actually worked. my first try was not so succseful, but it still works... just not for me :P
As you can see, it doesn't look that bad, but the ruffle on the bottom looks rather weird with the skirt i have, so i'll use the first one and try and find a different bottom for this one ;D
My Second project was to make a new bag that i can use to carry my books for school. As i only have two binders, a notebook, my water bottle, and then some other small books, it doesn't need to be that big, but it can't be too small either.
This is the finished product. I took two squares of denim material and sewed the edges together. i then took a strip of vinyl material and pinned it to the edges of the bag. i put it all the way to the bottom of the bag, but you could make just put it at the top. then i sewed it to the bag, cut a square of vinyl for a pocket, sewed that on, and Viola! itz done :)
I also took a t-shirt that was too big for me, and sewed up the sides so that it now fits me. i don't have any pictures of it tho, sorry :P
Well, that pretty much concludes my crafting for today, so...
Happy Crafting! SMILE PPL!! ~LizzNerd the Crafter ;D
