BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR PLAIN CLOTHING

Image
a.k.a. it was aliens! Some time ago I made myself a UFO-sweater! Somehow I managed to go almost 38 years without one. I bought an appliqué (via Etsy*)  and sew it onto a sweater. Or, first I carefully ironed it and then as it did not stick everywhere I went with plan B and sew it. *) Always Etsy. Late at night. But small birds that have their stores on that platform have told me most of their sales do happen at night so I am not alone in this world after all! The skirt is handmade by me late last year. Still have enough of the same fabric to make pants but those are very much still in their folded-fabric state, safely tucked away in a pile of other awesome fabrics.

While I have to do a lot of sewing for work (costumes) too, sewing for my everyday-self is something of a threat as I am not able to do it whenever I'd like, and it is not something I  have to d o but want to. I made this based on  a thinner jumpsuit I have , bought last summer.  That one fits and hangs great but the fabric was cheap and got floppy very fast. So I decided to make a new, better quality version. As you may remember I am not used to working with patterns, but I often copy things I see. Cutting is always the hardest part, sewing is easier. I will still need to make a small lift in the waist as it gets a bit bulky there, and I want to add a couple of decorative buttons in the front -...
