I'm alive!

I made it through my surgery! I'm currently in a ton of pain, but today should be the worst of it.

I'm making a costume for a production of Dream Girls, which I'm totally excited about. I made sure to cut most everything out before my surgery because I definitely cannot get down on the floor in my current state. I hate poly satin.

I also have 5 lengths of fabric waiting to be made up into Colette Sorbettos. I'm so excited to get them cut out.

Christmas Goodies!

I just got some amazing fabrics from Fabric.com. I ordered them, thinking that they wouldn't come until next week, but here they are!

Taken from my instagram

The fabric on the left is this stunning metallic border print. I am so in love with it. It will become a skirt! The three on the right are scrummy rayon challis (x, x, x)  The black will become a skirt that may go up in my etsy as a made to order item. The gingham and dot will probably become tops after my surgery.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate! I hope your Christmas (or just a regular Friday) was wonderful!

I got a lovely new dressform! It's actually my size, and it's so much prettier than my adjustable one!
Her name is Phoebe. Bought from here in size 18/20. I'm currently a bit bigger than her, but I am scheduled for a breast reduction and a bit of lipo in January, so it's all good.

Isn't she so beautiful?

I also got my very first serger! I don't have a picture of it because I haven't been able to set it up yet, as I'm currently bunking with my mom. I got the Brother 1634D. I'm very excited, well excited and scared, to use it.
As my Christmas present to myself, I've bought a gorgeous vintage cream and green floral taffeta that is dying to become a 1950s dress, and I have some very exciting fabric on the way from Fabric.com.
