Ok, so I have actually been doing a LOT of sewing lately. I just haven’t been showing much of it off. So I figured it was about time to do some finished object posts. I still don’t have any really good pictures of my finished competition outfits, but I am slowly collecting pictures of the practice dresses I finished minutes before leaving for regionals. Seriously! I somehow managed to whip out three practice dresses and pack with only minutes to spare. At least it all got done. In any case, here are some of the things I have been working on lately:
 |
Practice dress #1: Made from my $2.99 Fabric Mart stretch velvet.
The blue/pink contrast is not so vibrant in real-life. |
 |
The back. The best way to deal with swayback
in stretch material is to avoid it entirely. |
 |
| Black glitter stretch velvet. |
 |
| Back. |
 |
| Red snake print dress. Fabric is from the Loft. |
 |
| Back of the snake print dress. |
So, I have been sewing you see. I have two more practice dresses to make before nationals, and a few other things. With any luck I will have time to do a few more finished object posts before I go, but if not then expect a lot of them after I get back.

I am horribly jealous of how good you look in your costumes…and you have mad stretch fabric sewing skills!

I especially love the stretch velvet one – if only we could always deal with swayback by going backless!

Lovely! I especially like the glitter velvet dress. The back strap detail is very striking.
