combining my love of sewing with my love of dot dot dot:

[Image Can Not Be Found]

yeah, i made the shirt, i tried to give it puffy sleeves, but that didn't really work out, though it was my first succesful time doing a neck binding!.. then i tried to free hand their logo on there, but uh, i didn't really have the patience to get it right, haha… the fabric i used was some rayon blend, so i was afraid to stencil it 'cause i thought an iron would melt it…

Darbie. You are insanely talented.
At first I thought you'd bought the top and just done the logo! That's awesome.

I wish I could post a picture from my camera because I do some stuff with beads and I'm planning to start with fimo as soon as I get the time, but I'm kinda glad now that I can't because I'd look ridiculous compared to your talent dear boardies eheh

haha, trust me, if you saw what the inside of the shirt looked like you wouldn't have thought that, it's a hot mess…

and thank you all for the compliments…

Darbie and Tempe for Project runway! Those look great. Especially the sleeves on that t-shirt. Sleeves are so hard! I sew a little but mostly alterations to clothes, and I used to make skirts because those are easy.

That's such a cute top Darbie! I think I have a button like the ones you're using. Just one though, so I don't know what I'll ever use it for.

Ooo! Another find Darbie original! How long did that take to make? What is it made out of? Yeah, I've always wondered how do you get the proportions so perfect when you have to try it on and off. That must be one of the most frustrating parts.

thank you!.. only took a few hours to make (well, a little over an hour to make the pattern, a few days of procrastinating doing anything with it, about an hour cutting the fabric, and then two or three hours sewing it together), 'tis made out of a nice stretchy jersey material… and getting the fit right is definitely the most frustrating part!..
