Finished project.
You can take pom pom trim, unravel it, and push the poms down their cords. I made loops of pom pom balls that fell below the first row and fastened them with fabric glue.
Wrapping the metal drop with yarn using alternating left and right knots.
I have had this dress sitting around foreeeeever but never had quite the right fabrics to do what I wanted. Until two days ago. I got both fabrics thrifting and did this all in a couple hours.
Dress before:
One of the thrifted pieces, a woven guatemalan garment. Centering it here to cut out a bodice section.
The second piece is mexican serape. Here are both pieces cut to add.
Pinning and ruching the top piece.
Dress finished.
I made my own curtain tie backs. Not sure if it was worth the extra effort or if I saved any money. Just loved the copper color and needed it for my curtains, ha. So here I wrapped the loops with a matching (although it doesn’t look it) thread.
Got to work on projects in the sun,at a softball game, on a picnic blanket. Elation!
…is nothing to complain about. Found my way back to the sandy balcony that overlooks the Puget Sound 10 years after my last visit. I can’t believe such a beautiful place is free. Conservation yay.
Trying a new sprout in my terrarium necklace. The seed came from pods I harvested last year from Nigella.
I embroidered a celestial map onto a huuuuuge embroidery hoop. Took me about one work night for this part. I would like to accentuate the starts with beads or sequins. As yet undecided.
I bought a pair of shorts and they grew a hole in the butt where the zipper ended. I decided I would make a copy, so I reverse engineered them. First you must take them apart at the seams in the order they were sewn. I wrote down the steps as I went (and took pics) to keep it all straight.
