I want to be a unicorn!

Perhaps when I was 4 years old, along side a mermaid and a veterinarian.
But it's a very eye catching post title, isn't it? :D

I finally had my hair in a situation where I could wear the bonnet.

I like the look but want to make the crown a bit larger next time.

I've also got most of my flapper dress completed. Just hand sewing left to do. I've also been thinking about what I'm going to be doing next. I was ironing about 10 of my run around shirts and in the process skimmed my current wardrobe. I remember saying something on my blog that I didn't want to have clothing in my closet that needed alterations. You know the feeling. You are going out, or just getting ready for the day and other than side stepping something that might need ironing, you forgo an article of clothing because you have to either hem it, it needs a fix, or some other innate thing. The more I looked, the more things I saw that I wanted to fix. I was surprised.

I haven't kept my word to myself of not holding onto things that needed fixin'. I had a lot of stuff that needed fixin' and tons of creative solutions for it. 

It's time.

My focus for this year's Make & Mend sew along will be alterations and mending. Improving what I already have with embroidery, perhaps, new necklines, and other goodies.

Also with this years Make & Mend, I want to do some homemade patterns with draping, go over how to adjust patterns, and answer some questions I've been emailed on the subject. It should be fun!

So everyone get your supplies ready, make your dress form, catalog what you want to mend and repair, and buy some muslin because we are going to be working hard again! This week I'll be putting together the time line and cheerleading all those who wish to sew along with me.

Go team go!
