Ok, those who've read about that donation call for Barbie stuff for an eight year old will recognize what some of this is about. The first day after I read the post was Store Day, so didn't have time for anything else then. I started the day right after, but lost more time than I thought I would retracing old faded patterns, picking out material, cutting pieces, etc. I have all the prep work done for all the pieces I'd like to sew, which are probably more than I'll have time to do.
My sewing machine is currently down, so I'm handsewing. It takes me around four hours to sew each item. I'm slow and out of practice. Also, I had to restart the lab coat at one point because of a bad choice of fabric - it started fraying apart when I started sewing it, and I don't have Fray-check and can't get any within the deadline limit.
It's now early AM on the 22, I have to have this in the mail by the 26th, so it has to be finished up the 25th at the latest so I can catch the mailman or hike to the nearest Blue Box if I miss him. So... here are a few pictures that are partly showing off and partly to encourage me to try to sew faster and keep going. All were quickly snapped while checking to make sure the clothes actually fit well on the doll I intend to send. Yesterday' work (the 20th, really) is first because that's been washed, dried, and tried on. Today's work is still drying, so I'll have to post it tommorrow. The last day's I guess I'll have to take a hair dryer to. XD
Stuff I have cut out to possibly make: Labcoat, tube top, fleece sweater, tie-dye top, pink formal dress, denim pants, denim knee-shorts, floral-print t-shirt, sweatshirt, white t-shirt, tank top, yellow check sundress. Total items 12. There's almost no way I'll get them /all/ done, the trick is to get as many done as I can, and prioritize.
20th's work:
Tube Top
Tie-Dye Shirt
