My first semester back at school is nearly over. Yay! As you can see I've been busy with more than just the day job and school work. I've been spending a lot of time in the art room sewing. I wish I could say I've been painting, but lately my medium has been thread and t-shirts. I'm actually really proud of these two dresses because these are all me. I didn't use tutorials or online patterns. I didn't even draw these out first. I just went with it and made it up as I went. They turned out pretty good too.
I can't wait for school to end and summer to begin. I want to make more dresses and hope fully start building an inventory to sell some pieces. ;) I need to pay for school somehow.
They're both really nice! :) You've inspired me to get my sewing machine out!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you post whatever you make!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so jealous that you can sew jersey fabric. I have a stupid machine, unfortunately. :)
ReplyDeletehey...where on island can you find knits?...am i missing something?...the only craft/fabric stores i have found are radhi's/fabric mart/ben franklin but there are several crafty/fabric needs i have that i can't find there!...otherwise, do you know of a good online source that ships out here?
ReplyDeletehelp!
(also, know of any sewing tutors? - i've found "sew it yourself", but she wants $25/hour! - too rich for my blood!)
I use old t-shirts to make dresses, but there are many sellers on etsy.com that will ship to Guam. I like etsy because you can search for specific supplies and buy from an independent source, not just a corporation. I find it easier to deal with actual people for shipping to Guam. Plus you'll be supporting a small business. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any other tutors, but you might want to check U.O.G. and G.C.C. I believe they both have clothing construction classes. Might be more expensive thought since you'll be paying fees and tuition.
