Velvet Circle Skirt

I've been dying to add more skirts and dresses to my wardrobe. I suppose with Spring here, I should start adding more colour and print, but black just suits. Velvet fabric was on sale at the fabric store, so I picked some up! Made a simple circle skirt. Super easy, almost no-sew. Of course, the only sewing was to hem it and sew the waistband on, but none of this "panel this, panel that", business! I think it came out quite nice. I've worn it a couple of times, and I have to say I think it's my new favourite skirt.

Unfortunately the only place to take photos in my bedroom is that corner! I hate having photos like this that blatantly show no face, they look silly sometimes in my opinion, but I couldn't get a good photo of all of me. I should probably start using my camera again, instead of my webcam!

Memo Boards (Completed!)

So I finally finished my memo board.  I sewed on some buttons in to anchor the ribbons.  Looking at it now, I notice that one of my ribbons is too close to the other, so my diamonds are a little off, but I'm still super proud of it and I love it, so I'm going to keep it, until I decide to fix it. At this moment, it doesn't bother me as super much right now.

Memoboards (Inc.)

It's incomplete for now, but I started my memo board!  I chose a pink damask fabric, super cute and covered my old bulletin board.  I put two layers of batting down to give it some cushion and stretched the fabric around it and stapled into place.

New case

So I decided to try this tutorial.

I'm sure if I tried a little harder, it would look awesome, but I just made one super basic, black fur with a white suede lining.  It works for me, to hold my ipod, and after I get the hang of it, maybe I'll see about different fabrics and colors and whatnot.  I think I might eventually put a brightly colored button to break up the black and white, but for now, I like it the way it is.
