Update and Stuff

So it's been a while and I suppose an update is called for. I have not opened my Etsy store. January ended in a blur so it made working on sewing projects pretty hard... The new goal is to have the store open Monday February 8th. So far I have some bandanas and handkerchiefs to go up for sale. I also will be finishing those pajama pants this weekend. I'm also hoping to make Daniel's vest for the Steampunk convention. Lots to do this weekend!!

I also started working out again this month- though you guys don't really want to hear about that!

I started to play with my serger! It's pretty exciting. I have to pick up some more thread soon... I'm having fun using it, even though I've only really used it once. ^^; I'm still learning!! I will probably finish the pants with the serger to get the hang of it before i try it on the vest. Though I can't start the vest until he decides which pattern he wants me to use.

This week I'm planning on buying a bolt of muslin so I can get my dress pattern put together. I'm very excited! At the very least I will be putting together the pattern for the skirt... I'm going to wait until March before doing the jacket... Since I might lose some weight working out, probably not but I'm hopeful. ^_^ I have picked out the fabric I want to use and I'll be getting that by the end of the month, plus I have to purchase a corset but I need to double check the sizes on that before I jump...

So here's my to do list for February in order of how I hope to get them done:

1. Pajama Pants
2. Mens Vest
3. Buy bolt of muslin
4. Finish Dress Pattern
5. Buy Fabric for Dress
6. Buy Corset

I can see a couple of those falling into March.... I also have to find a good design or design my own for a friend's jacket for the con too! So much to do!! After all of this have to start thinking about the Renaissance Festival and Faerie Con! O_o So crazy... But for now I will look forward to tonight! Chinese and video games with my girl Megho! :D Now I should get back to work and plot some more for the costumes!
