Well, I sewed the Elastic waist skirt. I did it really similarly to my full skirt (blue and white gingham) and I've decided I hate it.

Well, I don't hate it. I just don't think that the full skirt is where I wanted to go with it. I've decided that it should be skinnier, like a pencil skirt, possibly with some draping in the front and hidden pockets. I have a dress that's got a similar skirt on it that i'm going to use for reference.

The green dress is still stagnant.

I've started slowly working my way through the sewing book I picked up! I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Sew-Everything-Workshop-Step---Step/dp/0761139737/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1297217065&sr=1-1

and I'm liking it so far. I've started a pair of foxy, baliwood boxers. Next up, I think I'm going to work on the cute little shorts. It's breaking down patterns and stitches for me step by step, which is great.

Also, I've been having a problem with my sewing machine. The bobbin winder will only crank by hand and won't run with the pedal, even though the machine sews with the pedal just fine. I called the sewing shop today and they said the repair will cost at least 38$, could be more, and they won't know until they have a look at it. sigh. I've got my fingers crossed that i can find the money somewhere in my budget this month or next (more likely).

I've started a little work on my blizzcon costume for day 2- a sexy, burlesque headless horseman. I'm thinking for day 1, i'm going to be go classic and be Battleguard Sartura.

Update with pictures later.
