Anyway, here are pictures of the dress, complete with matching hair piece that I also made.

Purple Passion
I finally finished the wiggle dress. It really took me ages. I am hoping that I can crank out some more dresses and such soon. Currently my sewing machine is in the shop for the next two weeks, which is going to cost me about $220.00.

Sew Excited
Due to my sewing machine being down and out for the count, and having to use a borrowed machine, I have been really not wanting to sew at all. Last night I decided to get on the ball and work on the wiggle dress I've been trying to finish for the last couple of months. I'd been having issues with getting the bodice completed, so much so that Monday night I just got so irritated with it that I swore off sewing for the next several months.
Last night, I decided to give it another go. I am so glad that I did.
TAKE THAT BODICE, I WIN.
I'm not sure what I won, I just know that I did.
I also decided that my victory was not complete without giving the serger another try, and I hit two for two last night.
I figured out how to get the serger threaded so that I can finish my seams! So excited!
Hopefully, this dress will be a done deal come Friday.
Also, Marine Boy called. I was super glad to hear from him. I miss him a lot.

Half-Hearted
I haven't posted in a while. I really meant for this blog to be more than it is, but I find that work, school, and my personal life have really been getting in the way of things that I want to do.
Marine Boy is off in Afghanistan fighting a war and I am home, heartbroken that he isn't here. I miss him.
My sewing machine is currently down and out for the count and I don't have the $200.00 at the moment to get it fixed.
I'm still trying to learn how to use my serger, but that is turning into a fiasco in itself. I'm hoping I can make some headway on the dress that I've been working on for months now, and learn to use my serger in one swoop.
Anyway, I plan to have some really great things coming up, just bear with me while I pull myself out of this funk.
