Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was extremelyyyyyyyyyyyy sewing focused, by the photos it looks like I did nothing but sew! Honestly I was spending a lot of time sewing because I start back at uni tomorrow, and the next four weeks are going to be a rush (three assessments in four weeks, plus two important birthdays and I need to redo my car registration :S)


This dress was finished early on the weekend, it was a practice for the dress that is in the next picture. I really love this fabric, even though I'm not much of a blue fan. I bought it at my favourite op shop ever, three and a half metres for $3.50. You can't beat that. 

 



I had been coveting this fabric for months, literally. I saw it every time I went to buy other fabric, and with an important party coming up I thought it was the perfect time. The pattern is so summery! 

I have progressed on this dress more than the pictures show...but I want the finished dress to be sort of a surprise! 



Inspired by this post, I attempted my first go at a heart design, sans contact paper with duct tape in it's place. My hearts are quite compact, but worked well. I will definitely do this again in a bigger design and with more colours! 

Grant and I also had a small lunch date on Saturday by going to subway (trying to be healthy and save money!). We always get three cookies for $2 and halve them. This time we got raspberry cheesecake and double choc chip. Yum!

The Lack of Communication..



There has been a lack of blog posting lately. So far, this week has been very full on! Finishing of an assessment for presentation later this week has taken up most of the last few days. 


But now I'm finished, and waiting to do my presentation, I can work on other things! I started this dress last night. It's not an ambitious pattern, and I have done a fair amount of it so far. I'm looking forward to wearing this one on the weekend (if not earlier!)  


And then I will promise to blog more!

Here are some quick pictures that I took on Monday. It was the first day back to uni, and we had a site visit! Our site is right in the city, and infill site (as they are called) and we are do design an Art + Design gallery. Exciting! (and scary!)
