Dancing Teddy Bears JSK Progress

I am finally back after a long while! ♥

I was actually just being lazy the past few weeks and a 

lot has happened. I don't really like blogging about my personal life

but let's just say that last week was the most horrible week 

I had to go through. From unprofessional bosses to getting mugged to

a family secret that I wasn't really ready to find out about (and it

obviously broke my mom's heart. I hate it when my mom cries..).

So yeah, Most of the times I'm off from work, I just

want to treat them as, well, my day off -- from everything. I just want

to take my rests. Our workplace is the most stressful

environment I have to endure in my every graveyard shift.

But yesterday was different. I had to do something to

ease off the anger, sadness and every tiny bit of negative

energy in my system. And I know that sewing my own

dress will definitely do the trick. If my back could talk, it

would so lovingly throw a bunch of cuss words at me.

I decided to try to finish sewing a skirt or a dress out of my teddy

bear fabric. You can see my previous post about it here.

I was planning to just make a skirt out of the fabric. I ended up

making a JSK instead. And, wow I slacked off for almost 3 months! 

Now that's a long resting period lol!

Here's the JSK so far:

Sorry for the sucky photos, I took this earlier this morning right
after sewing and my hands were trembling lol, I was like, okay that's good enough. XD

It's far from done. It's missing a lot of elements, 

the sewing is still quite messy underneath.

I actually used raschel lace for the top part of the bodice. 

I do not like using raschel lace but it turned out nicely. What do you think? :)

I couldn't finish it 'cause I started at night up to 4 in the morning. My

back is, I think, developing rayuma (haha, kidding of course!) so I had to sleep. 

I wasn't able to finish it. I can't wait to, though. I swear I'm gonna get back on it

next weekend! ♥

Teddy Bear Skirt Progress

I will not be able to finish the skirt tonight, so I'll just be posting

photos of its progress.

I wanted to make a scalloped skirt. I found a tutorial here which

was really really useful.

look how messy:

They actually turned out nicely, I had to repeat the lines

to make sure the measurement doesn't go haywire.

Cut, cut~

So here's how it looks so far:

nom nom nom scalloped edges ♥

I basically lack a lot of things, hence, I can't finish it. I'm also out of

time. I need to sleep early or else my skin will get back at me and I can't

afford anymore break outs, I'm gonna be modelling for a friend this Tuesday. >_<

I can't wait to finish this, I find it so frustrating not being able to. I stay over at

my boyfriend's house every weekdays. I can't bring my sewing machine with me

'cause travelling with a huge bag, a heavy sewing machine with my tiny

body don't really add up nicely lol

So, yeah, 'til next week chocolate-blueberry-teddy-bear-skirt-thingy. >3<
