High Waisted... Poofy... Adorable.
I thought, hey, I want to make that. It would be cool if I made it look really hippie and stuff...
So I set off to Joann Fabrics and bought some white fabric... they only had Rodeo cotton, but I thought I could get by even though it was a bit stiffer than I wanted... I went and picked out some fabric paint markers...
Go back to my dorm room and alas, I discover my sewing machine is broken... What???
My $400+ sewing machine is broken??
Why isn't the fabric feeding...
Go online... check possibilites... Okay... clean off the foot... Check... Check the bobbin... Wtheck? A piece is broken??
Okay... No problem there's a singer sewing machine repair place nearby... Take it there...
The next weekend comes along...
Man... I want to sew... No sewing machine... eh... I'll wait... no... I'll sew it by hand.. yes.
Go to Target to get some sewing needles... What they have a $20 sewing machine??
What is this?
A piece of plastic crap...
Hmmm... I always say I'm a pretty decent sewer... so I wonder if I can sew on a $20 piece of crap machine without a reverse... I buy it., thinking Project Runway should use this idea some season... give all the contestant $20 sewing machines and see if they can survive... hahaha...
This pic says it all... What kind of junky equipment was I working with here?? I literally was sitting on the ground doing this... it was sad.
Yes, my shoe is actually longer than the machine... Sad, but true...
So I somehow manage to sew this skirt... Not perfect, I always think I'm larger than I am... so it's about two inches too big..
Now I have this white high waisted skirt... Time to get it pop arty...
Fabric markers!
What design?
The outline and a bit of coloring...
Okay now that I have that... I can have her blowing stuff... I saw a pic like that once... I'll use that as inspiration...
I'm still not 100% finished but alas, here it is:
Not 100% complete, but it's getting there...
