i changed my serger threads from pink i've been using for ages to royal blue

to make the dress with ruffles

and, those blue threads then inspired

a week of sewing royal blue stuff!

laziness is a funny thing, right?

..

dress was on my 'list' for a long time

loved the ruffle, which is funny

 i don't usually love ruffles

as they're a bit too girly for my style

but this ruffle i liked..

chose a lycra fabric, that has crepe-like texture

and doesn't fray, so the edge of the ruffle could be left 'raw'

..

i wish i wasn't lazy and did the hem by hand

might get back to it at some point, 

but hem aside, it's a great dress

makes me wanna dance my heart out

not a lot of clothes have that power

..

also, one could argue it's too short

but i think it's fine with tights or leggings

..

sweater is made out of some sort of

boiled wool knit fabric

that i had in my stash for some time..

it's a very thick fabric, super warm

(and also kinda scratchy

so it's 'only for the brave' kinda sweater)..

it's an easy thing to construct

and i made this one using only serger

i hemmed it by hand, but did that after these photos were taken

so that's why the hem looks wonky

..

i've also made a hoodie for my friend johnny

don't have a photo of that hoodie

so you'll have to take my word for it,

but i had some leftover fabric after finishing it

and i used it to make this cropped sweatshirt

that my friend greska is wearing in pics bellow

i've also made a pair of pants for a customer

and finished an upholstery project for a friend

 both of those were blue as well..

and i actually run out of blue serger thread 

after i finished the last one of 'blue period' things yesterday

.. 

working on some backpacks at the moment

nikola is helping me with leather parts

and i'm really loving how those are looking so far!

hope to share them with you soon
