My #pleats are much better this time, even if it doesn't show in the picture so well! I'm still working on the #redskirt too. I had to pause that one to get some more supplies and had to get this #southwest looking fabric. They should both be done soon. #

#invisiblezipper number two with a #hookeyeclosure at the top #learningtosew #sewingprojects #sewing #ameliadress
rachael-jay:
I finished them up on Saturday. I'm proud of the entire dress, but I'm most proud of how the #invisiblezipper turned out! My first time doing it and I used a #regularzipperfoot. It's not store perfect but I'm looking forward to wearing them and getting be

Finished the top yesterday. Just finishing the skirt, attach to the top and put in the zipper! Yeah, I finally bought all the zippers I needed so I can wear everything I've been working on. #sewing #ameliadress
rachael-jay:
This one's coming along too! Time to topstitch. This is the 2nd #ameliadress I've made and I avoided a lot of the minor mistakes I made with the first one. Soon I'll just be adding zippers, closures and hemming. I got this fabrics at #joannstores. You can

Ok, here it is so far. First, it's not finished. I just pinned the shoulders and sides to see it on the hanger. Not bad though! This is the project for the 2nd round of intermediate class that was derailed by the earthquake. Obviously, I like prints!! #se

Four #pleats ready to be pressed and sewn #learningtosew #hiatusproject #zinniaskirt #colettepatterns #suitingwool
rachael-jay:
#pleats done the wrong way! Ha! They look good but it took about an hour to lay all the #pleats correctly. I was set to have the back #pleats so wrong the pocket would've been on the wrong side of the #skirt. They should look like this for #topstitching.
rachael-jay:
Not bad so far! This was taken about an hour ago when I had a lot of pieces pinned so I could see where it was going. Now, 4 hours later the bodice is almost complete . Just have to do the collar facing, hem the sleeves and do the side sems. #hiatusprojec

Since classes at #moodla are on hiatus for roof repairs, I decided to try a project in the meantime. I got this printed cotton at #jo-annfabrics. I'll be working on the #amelia dress from #greenbeepatterns. It's my first time working with an indie pattern
rachael-jay:
It's looking like a dress!! The sleeve and side seams have been basted. I have clothes pins holding the back closed. #myfirstdress #reddress #wooldress #journeyofmydress #learningtosew #sewingclass #inthemoodLA
rachael-jay:
It's coming along. I have to adjust the #zipper and #sew in the collar pieces. Then #iron the hell out of it, neaten the inside seams and hem the bottom and sleeves. But it looks more like a dress. The best part - my machine already has a zipper foot. Rel

The nearly finished product!!! So excited! I could not believe that I made it in a few hours and it was my first time working with #leather. Just needs the edges sealed and a closure added. #leatherclutchclass #thankyoumood #inthemoodla #latergram #lear

I made it through the first round of stitches. The interfacing was just slipped inside. It's clamped for the 2nd round of stitches. #leatherclutchclass #inthemoodla #thankyoumood #latergram

Cutting out the pattern in #leatherclutchclass on Saturday. I was nervous. #inthemoodla #thankyoumood

#fabrics for the current round of classes. The red with the white woven through is #wool for my #grownladydress in #intermediatesewingclass. It looks good and I don't have one #reddress already. The other two are navy blue and black #leather for a one day

Well...that dress I've been working on off and on since March, it's almost done! Just three things left to do. It took forever cause I spent too much on the interior fabric so I made it #reversible. Crazy print side. I'll wear the thin belt with it to def
