If your jeans are cut off at the bottom then a few washings will fray them like crazy.

I really like that bathing suit.  GOOD JOB!!!!!!

I think the shirt is nice, but if you don't like it that much, why not do something else to it to make more your style? I don't know what you'd like but maybe taking it in or adding something else to it would make you happier with your finished product. Maybe not but it's just a thought.

No, it really is fine the way it is, but I would rather be making gowns for the "red carpet" and anything "normal - day to day wear" just doesn't seem as exciting, thats why its not "awesome" to me.

LOL don't think I am not proud of it, I like anything I make, I just wish I had places to wear spectacular gowns.......I don't live anywhere special where I could wear stuff like that.

Although I am not a guy I have some advice that might or might not help.

Try Burda patterns, they are available at most fabric stores, at least where I live......middleofn owhere saskatchewan....... . so wherever you are you should be able to get them.

The website is in German, so its easier to go look at the catalogues unless you actually know german.

Hope that helps.

My husband needs those!

And kudos for wearing a whole outfit you made yourself... awesome!

Thanks,

I always do............ok not always........but often.

And thanks for the compliment on the top!

I like this shirt a little bit, it only took an hour to make.  I got .4 of a meter of this fabric for $1, so at first I made a skirt, but it was really ugly, so I took it apart and made this halter top.  It has a tie at the neck, but it somehow crept up to the side of my neck for this picture.  Its not the most spectacular thing I ever made but I like it enough to wear it to work.  I did not use a pattern for the top.

If you all want to reply that would be good, but I hate it when people say "I love it" when something is ugly.  Oh, I almost forgot, I made the pants too, they are brown pinstripe, but not worth posting a whole picture of them. I did use a pattern for the pants.

If anyone wants a tutorial just reply here and I will make one up.



Thanks for looking!  Does this pic make me look fat? (joking, don't answer that)

always wanted to try this marquis...very cool..yey for craftster

Here is a link to Stretch-and-Sew, they have patterns for that type of fabric, and there are some patterns available from the Big Three as well.

I kinda want to slap your husband on your behalf for ruining what should have been a proud moment.  Been there.  I don't ask my husband's opinion about anything that's important to me, because well, he's rained on my parade one too many times, which has rendered his opinion about a lot of things null and void.

I agree......Husbands have no opinions!  I like the basics of your shirt and it looks like its made very well.  It looks very long in the pictures, is it longer than hip length? I would like one similar.  I always wonder how will I ever find time to sew all this stuff?

Good Job, Congratulations!

I have the similar simplicity pattern.....I am in!  I probably wont be done for at least a week, I am working on a suit for myself for work.
