When it comes to crafts I like to stay well within my comfort zone
and ensure that I am able to do the task I set myself.
I push myself every time I work on something I do not cut corners ever
and I always want to make something that will last the test of time.
My work is my legacy so to speak.
The problem is I have had a mad moment ....
its the blonde in me that does it I'm sure (yeah I know its a Cliche)
 |
| yup thats me !! |
I'm not saying I cannot sew
BUT......
I am saying I cannot sew to any great degree
at best my sewing is akin to that of a 5 year old's school project
So why on earth have I decided to make a
PRINCESS AURORA dress
from SCRATCH!!?????
I cannot fathom what has gone through my mind ......
and whats worse is I have everything ready to start
The pattern
the satin
the lining
the ribbons
the zip
the interfacing
the boning
the net
the chiffon
the organza
the threads
the pins
the elastic
and I have even brought myself a
SEWING MACHINE !?!?!?!
and until now it hasn't actually dawned on me that I have never done anything like this in my LIFE
WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!
I am in panic mode and wonder if I will be able to do what I have set out to do .
I know that I am lucky that I will have the support of my family while I do this project
especially from my mum and my mother-in-law
both of whom I am eternally grateful to for the support they have given me recently
and of course over the years. I am pretty sure that I will be calling upon them both for their knowledge and advice over the coming weeks with this project.
I hope to try and get time on this project daily and shall post regular update of my progress as I work
not a tutorial but a journey so to speak of my experience of creating a costume from scratch
the highs and the lows and of course pictures
I hope that you will join me on this journey
as well as my other blogs
and hopefully the tutorials I will be doing this year on the crafts I enjoy doing
love Kayla
xXx
