I'm making a jacket out of 100% wool but it has ALOT of seams and i want it to all lay flat and look nice.  But i dont know if I can iron it or if so, what setting to put it on.  Our iron goes from 1-6 and 4-6 are "steam" settings (I suppose).   What do I do? 

crescentfresh-  i love it! 

That's an infinity dress and it's seriously the easiest thing in the world to make.  Don't spend $100 on it, i made mine for $15.

I've actually become quite obsessed with swimwear in the past couple weeks.  I have around 50 different sketches and I can't help but draw more.  I'm hoping to make some of them this summer but I've never made a swimsuit before 

I've been looking all over the net for wild new swimwear styles for inspiration.  Anyone have any good sites? 

thanks everyone!

rachikus- its fake but tried to make it sound fancier by saying its a real fake and not just a fake-fake.  idk i guess it made more sense in my head haha

i love it just the way it is!  but if you still want to add something i'd say add a 3-4 inch ruffle at the hem.  just please no ric-rac i can't stand the stuff.

This year, my friend had me make her dress from senior prom.  She picked out the pattern, fabric, and notions and I sewed it.  It's more of a skirt and top but we just called it a dress anyways.  It took FOREVER.  But she loved it so it was owrth it.  The top is boned and fully lined and the skirt has 8 panels that I pressed open and serged each side.  So i serged 18 seams on the skirt alone.  Which was a pain.  But the fabric frayed and I didn't want it to fall apart on her.  The straps/sleeves were my own design because she wanted her shoulders to be covered.  And there's a really fake diamond trim under the bust but you can't really see it in the pictures.  The trim was hand sewed and so was the skirt hem  .  The whole dress isn't really my style but it's what she wanted and I think it suits her style perfectly.













This was the pattern I used and I did the dress on the model on the left. 

thanks!!! 

oh my gosh i absolutely LOVE IT!!!!  that fabric is perfect and the skirt design is just detailed enough to not be overwhelming with the print.  i love love love it!!!  awesome work!

Thanks! Hancock Fabrics!
