TaD23: Dress Painted + Belt

This took WAY longer than I expected but I think it turned out pretty good.  I sketched the design out with some taylor's chalk then gave it two coats of Tulip Soft Fabric Paint.  If anyone wants to try something like this, I recommend making sure you have something between the front and back layers of fabric and also letting the paint dry completely before adding a second coat.  Two coats look much brighter than one.

I also hemmed the bottom and made a little belt.  The belt still needs a second coat of paint, but it's past my bed time.

Thanks for looking!  =)

TaD22: Dress Sewn

I threw this together as fast as I could tonight.  I did not make the sleeves as long as I wanted to though. Sort of didn't follow my pattern on that.  I modded them from 11" to 9" and didn't make the radius as large due to the fact that I just free handed the sleeve onto some wrapping paper for the pattern.

My next plan is to paint a design on the fabric.  I'm feeling intimidated but I think I can pull it off.

Thanks for looking!  =)

TaD20: Dress Pattern

Catching up. I'm still a day behind.  I've got an idea for a dress but I couldn't quite find the fabric I want.  I'm going to attempt to paint a pattern on the dress, but first it must be made!  I'm being picky about the shape too... I hope this all works out.  Made my own pattern since the McCall's pattern I wanted to use was out of stock.  Thanks for looking!  =)

TaD16: Leather Pin

I have a lot of left-over purse from Sophia's harness project.  It's fun to repurpose things!
