coral pink & fox red

Top of the morning to you, dear readers! Today I have my finished nightgown to show you - and a few victorious hair photos :]

At a clothing swap in the fall, I obtained this wonderful little nightgown - but since it was a very thin "summery" thing, I wasn't in a huge hurry to do the alterations. It seemed to fit nicely for the most part, except for the width. It definatly needed some taking in on the sides!

I decided to take in 3in on each side but keep the length because it would be more comfortable longer. I also was excited to use my zig-zag stitch - a stitch that would work well with the stretchy pink material.  I played around with the width and frequency of the stitch on some scrap material until I got the settings just right. Its always important to adjust your stitch the the material that your working with.

So after a few snack breaks and multiple record flips, the nighty was sewn! And having the evening to myself, I practiced making victory curls in my hair. It was alot of work, but I did it! I always wanted to do them but my hair wasn't long enough, until now!!

I felt so regal in my new do and couldn't help taking some dramatic pictures in it :] I even brought out my red fox fur to pose with! I think I had alittle too much fun haha..

Well I hope to start working on my next project in a couple weeks when my weekend class is over and I have a bit more free time. Meanwhile I want to show you some goodies I found, and take some outdoor photos because the weather has been so nice! And as a matter of fact, I am going to be in Detroit this week, so I'd love to show you my adventures there. 

So ta ta for now :]
