What I’m Working On This Week: 16/12/13

My bacon fabric finally came! So did some out-of-town family members visiting for the holidays… and a snow storm. Needless to say, the sample did not get completed and that photoshoot I had planned did not take place. BUT I’ve got my fingers crossed that the dress will get done this week and the sun will come out this weekend so I can photograph the sample and get The Bacon Dress listed before the end of the year!

With Christmas coming, loads of orders to fill and two custom orders in the works, I don’t have much time to work on anything else!

I’ll also be drawing up my patterns for The Bacon Dress early this week and I’ve scheduled a photoshoot for this weekend, so I’m really hoping my bacon fabric will make it here before the end of the week! Continue reading →

I started working on my DIY chalkboard dress form last week – taking it apart, fixing it up and putting it back together in my size/ my sample size – and I picked up my chalkboard paint ($22.97 at Home Depot), brush, roller, paint tray, putty to fill the gaps/seams, putty knife and sanding sponge yesterday. All together, after tax, the whole project cost me $53.33, not too shabby considering a small printed shop sign is $40 before time or money spent on the design. I should have it puttied and ready for paint by the end of the week.

It is my exact double, and it kind of creeps me out.
