Sewing Again



My mother bought me a sewing machine for my birthday and I am super excited about it! There are several projects I am planning for upcoming events. One of which is a masquerade the weekend after Thanksgiving. I have already started the dress (pictured). I have the main part done now I just need to add some sizzle to it! I will post when it is complete (w/ mask and all---check back closer to November) Frosdaddy will have a matching vest and bowtie.

The other project is a '30s dance. That is September 12th. I know it is coming up soon. But I will be making Ms. I and I matching dresses. (For Lindy Hop) I have not even started this project yet but I have looked at some possible material. I was thinking polka dots! I will post picutres of Ms. I and I when complete!

The final project is our halloween costumes. Now I know everyone is excited to know what The Rackhams are going to dress up as this year. (Well at least ONE person is) The fact that someone asked what we were planning on and I hadn't even thought of it was flattering. This year it was Mr. L's turn to pick. So, when I rememberd that I thought we would all be wearing cardboard boxes and dress as cars....AND at first he did pick cars (or Lighting McQueen to be specific) then he changed his mind. Now the Rackhams are going as-----

-----Ta da da DAAA-----Mario characters! Mr. L as Mario, Frosdaddy as Luigi. Ms. I as Princess Peach, S-Mom as Princess Daisy, and Ms. G as Toadette. Well I can't wait to start and finish these projects!
