Waiting Patiently

April 15, 2014

So I decided on my fabrics, but unfortunately, the website ran out of the knit fabric I wanted. I settled for cotton and the other knit, which is thicker and the ink doesn’t saturate as well. I made my order since April 1st and would like to receive them like NOW. In the meantime, I’ve been trying to get rid of my fabrics. I’m getting married! and will be moving at the end of May. I want to use up as much fabrics as possible to lighten my moving load. I love collecting fabrics and am kind of having a hard time using them because they are all so beautiful. All the “sample” items I will be making will be fairly cheap; probably half of the price I would charge for a made to order item. Below are the items I made in the past week/weekend.
The last photo is just a belt I made for myself because I threw away all my belts when I moved last time. The 2nd to the last photo is just a shawl my sister put on my dressform and I decided to put the belt on it.

I remade the high waist skirt with my favvvorite Hmong fabric I ordered from ebay a few years ago. I made a few of these skirts before and sent it to my sister to sell it to her friends sometime last year. The only difference is that the old ones were not high waisted.

 I told myself once I have enough items on my Etsy account I was going to create a Facebook for it. Last night was my fifth item I posted on Etsy, but decided to hold off on the FB. There are other tops and dresses that I wanted to make and post. If only I can find time to go the Jo-Ann and get some fabrics… Hopefully after work that way I can start something tonight and over the weekend. The items I have in mind to be made and posted next, I actually already made them; I just need to get the materials and make it one more time and go over the measurements and sizes. I want to include at least a crop top and a dress before creating a FB account. The crop top will be like the one showed above, but maybe longer sleeves. I haven’t thought about what kind of style dress I’ll be making though. I really want to do a full skirt dress, but I’ll see what I can come up with this weekend.
