Cords a-fire

[wayfaringwordhack]

Last night, I dreamed that my sewing machine, the electrical cord actually, was on fire. I was so pissed because I had just finished mana_trini's sack but hadn't yet had a chance to make my pants. Since he had his sack, I was positive that he wasn't going to buy me another machine. :P

This morning, the sewing machine was still there, cool to the touch and ready to go, so I finished off the sack as planned, just in time to watch the second half of the NZ vs England game in peace.

The sack is 185x30x15cm. Its dimensions, plus the padding, heavy cloth, and faux leather are what made it so tedious (for this amateur seamstress) to put together.

I ironed my harem pants material this morning, so this arvy, I can at last get started. I'm going to have a fantabulous outfit for my last African dance class. I hope. Don't fail me now, seat-of-the-pants sewing skills!

Wow! That is quite the sewing opus.

It certainly was a challenge while I was elbow deep in, but now that it is over, it seems like it wasn't that difficult. :P

Woohoo! That's a damn impressive looking bit of kit!

No wonder he's proud of you :D

Photos of the outfit next?

Photos of the outfit next?

If I can figure out how to make it the way I want, and if it doesn't look bad-funky. Good-funky is good. ;)

I'm sure it will be good-funky.

Though you could always buy a new outfit, or even photograph an old outfit, and lie ;)

*lol* Actually I still *owe* my friend frigg photos of the last outfit I made. When I get around to taking them, I'll send a copy to you, too. :D
