SEW (so) its time to get things on the road!
I decided to begin sewing my final dress!!
This dress had given me nightmares... just thinking about sewing all those cones scared the living daylight out of me!! but i MUST push on!
Cutting the fabric proved to be the most time consuming part of the entire process. First i had to to cut around 240 pieces of fabric... 240 pieces of shape well and then begin to sew the approx. 120 cones!! each cone took around 5 minutes each and as time went on i found quicker ways to go about it.
After about 3 days of cone making. day and night on that machine i finally had finished all the cones and it was time to start sewing the to the lining!
This again proving to be more difficult than anticipated!
I started from the bottom! Sewing each row the entire way around... getting higher and higher the weight of the fabric was RIDICULOUS!! Needing help from peers and lecturers just to get it through the machine!
A few more days passed and the skirt base was complete! (note: due to weight i had to change it into a 2 piece)
The bodice for this outfit was easy enough and i got through it in a day!
Pressed for time and a photo shoot on Monday i had to rush and begin stuffing each cone with tulle and flowers! hot glue was my new best friend!!!!
After about 2 weeks of the most solid work i have done in my entire life i had this outfit complete and even though had been looking at it for days... i was AMAZED! it was exactly how i wanted it and i was SO HAPPY!
