WIP Confessions – vol 2

Polka dot ElisalexVintage dressBirthday dress

Three of four completed. I’d say the first of the WIP Confessions has been a success! Especially considering the giant capstone project thrown in the midst there. This is fun! Let’s keep this going, shall we?

Here are my projects to finish for the next month:

This was one of the first projects I started when I started sewing regular clothes a few years ago. I’m pretty sure it’s only missing a zipper.

This is another one of those stupid WIPs that’s just missing a few buttons and a hem. Not sure why that’s so difficult.

I made this Katniss dress a while ago but didn’t notice immediately that the hem is completely off and therefore haven’t ever worn it. Should probably fix that.

Andd we’ll just sneak this Archer in again since it’s still sad and neglected.

PS Dress was finished in time! PAX was amazing. Pictures to come.

I’m working on some fun stuff this weekend. I bought this fabric a week ago but I’ve been too scared to cut into it since I don’t have a pattern for this project and it’s been a while since I’ve free-handed a garment sans pattern. Yesterday I sat down and sketched it all out and made it all make sense in my head. I think I know what I’m doing now.

Wish me luck!

Do you have any exciting projects lined up for the weekend?
