I'm on Reading Week right now. It's the same thing as Spring Break, it just has a silly name. And it's not actually during the springtime... But, it's a week long break, so who cares? Because one of my two classes today was cancelled, I just skipped the other one and started my break early. It was a good day. :) Even though I'm very sniffly, I don't feel too awful. I just have to blow my nose about every five minutes. It didn't prevent me from getting to a much needed sewing project though. With all my jeans suddenly getting holes, I had to do something. I had found a pair of jeans that I hadn't really worn but hung on to anyways just in case. I didn't wear them because I didn't really like the style since the bottoms were very flared. So yesterday I ripped out the seams up to the knees and I re-sewed them today. Now I have a pair of wearable, non-holey jeans to go with my one other pair! :) I'd buy more jeans, but I really don't want to spend the money on it. Not when the money could be going towards things like fabric and corset supplies and such.
It was my birthday last weekend and I got some birthday money to spend, so I splurged on some new shoes. They're black canvas flats with little laces.
See them here. I've been wanting flats for such a long time but have never been able to find ones that are comfortable and supportive enough. Because these ones are cut higher at the tops, I find they fit so much better. :)
During this coming week, I want to take a pattern from an existing knit top I have (one of my favourites) and make a repro out of my emerald rayon knit. Rayon knits are sooo nice. I love how smooth and drape-y the shirts I have are that are made out of it.
