Watchers

  • Mood: Tender
  • Listening to: Jenna Marbles- What bitches wear at the airport
  • Reading: Buying spread sheet
Now that I have been basking in the enjoyment of being able to sleep for more than 5+ hours without being disturbed for homework I never had the chance to ask what kind of sewing tutorials would you like to see? I have to ask to keep it in the sewing range because I still have ones from back in early May asking for how to do certain costumes etc. so I want to finish those but for right now what DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

Here are some ideas I just came up with while typing this journal out:



BASIC BUYING FORMULAS


The reason I would want to put this kind of tutorial up is to help anyone who is going to school to become a fashion buyer. I had a crash (hated it) course in using Excel and I felt that this can be MUCH easier then the way they taught me.


USING A SERGER


I am sure everyone who has been sewing for a while knows what a serger is and if you don't its a machine that finishes hems and seams. I have a three thread one and a 4-5 cone one.


BASIC SKIRT


Who doesn't want to learn on how to make your own basic skirt?


ADDING A WEIGHT CHAIN TO YOUR SKIRT


Say what? I am sure you are asking yourself "Why would I want to add a chain to the hem of my skirt?" Ladies you know when you step outside of the house and the wind is blowing so hard that you find yourself temporarily blinded by fabric and for some reason people are laughing at your choice of Victoria secret underwear then you know how annoying it is to have to tame your skirt with one hand and keep your purse from falling with the other. So this way not only can you keep your skirts from blowing up and flashing skin but it can also help keep them looking very nice through out the day.


HOW TO INSTALL A ZIPPER


Oh the dreaded zipper I known people cowering from the all mighty zip zip sound and running to be comforted by the rough feel of elastic. But as you know me I like to keep things simple and showing step by step so that your never lost. Plus you need to know how to install one just incase it breaks and you don't really want to spend $10 bucks taking it to the dry cleaners huh? I know I got tired of paying some lady to tell me that it will be done in a week. NO I WANT IT NOW NOT LATER.



Again its whatever you want or what I can get finished before I move.

Shall I write it in big words? Yes...

ANYTHING SEWING! :D

Hey there my name is Monique and I am a craft addict.
That is all.
But for real I am a visual merchandising student at Academy of Art University and I am here to teach y'all how to sew and use glue. Lots and Lots of glue.

*UPDATE!*
I am living in San Francisco! Holy friggen shit I can say it has been a wild ride/dream come true. But after I get settled with classes I will have to do tutorials that have been waiting. But wish me luck!


Here is a list of random facts.

1) Jean Claude Van Damm movies are my guilty pleasure AND I think that the movie ShowGirls should have gotten an award because nobody can dance on a stripper pole better than Elizabeth Berkley.

2) The 99 cent store is my favorite place to buy random crap.

3) I have been sewing for 7 years now.

4) Offending people on Facebook has become a passion of mine.

5) I love learning the most random thing... AT NIGHT.

Thank you for the watch and the sequin tutorial. Sequins (and other small sewn-on sparklies) pwn me every time we meet.

Oh thanks dear :heart: the compliment means a lot to me coming from you, since I have never taken formal sewing lessons, and your work is extremely professional. Like I said before, you're truly a sweetheart for taking the time to post those awesome tutorials and you don't need me to make you feel special, trust me you are ^.^
