mala_14My slip is being difficult. It's wonky in some way that I don't understand and may be due to the grainlines being funny or something with the bias. Anyways, I'm thinking it may become a camisole instead. Next slip I make will not be on the bias or will be made out of a sturdier fabric.
On another note, I think my next sewing project will be quick and easy. I want to make a tank dress out of an old tank top I never really wear. Like this tutorial. I figure if I make a really casual dress and make sure that I put pockets in it, it'll be something that I actually wear on a regular basis. There are so many times that I choose not to wear the things I make because I think they're either too nice for whatever I'm doing or I don't feel like carrying around a purse. I'm not a purse person (a purson? :p) and like to put all my things in my pockets. And since I don't have any dresses or skirts with pockets... well, you get the idea. So that's the plan. Black tank top with black elastic (which I need to get ) and leftover pink cotton print from my quilting adventure. (I like the idea of this project because it'll should be quick, easy, and use up stuff I already have.) And if it goes well, I could see myself making a lot of these. I have an old red tank with a hole by the hem that would look really good with a black print skirt...
I've also got other news. I am semi-employed (which is good because my schooling needs paying for) as a writer at Foundations Revealed. I'm writing an article for that now on Early Victorian Undergarment Layers, which will come out sometime this summer. It has been a lot of fun to research and write about. I don't think I've ever been able to write so much about one subject!
