[DIY & Creativity] Sew much sewing

Well, they give you a piece that is about 30 cm long to go around a 3cm waist. I have opted to do some Gathering with the old standby needle and thread.


I did not realize that there is another layer to go over this first layer so I will be doing that same thing again. Had I looked forward in the directions, I would have done the two of them together.

This tiny little waist is going to get a bit thicker. On another note, the white glossy “paper” that I thought I was missing in a previous post is actually the satin fabric. :rofl:. I opted to use some extra lavender crepe paper that I used for the backing so that is how it will be.

The 3 cm waist is so small! I’m really excited on how your bridal wedding dress will look like. :heart_eyes:

Wow, that is really tiny! I can’t wait though to see it finished. I bet it’s gonna look really cool.

Thanks for sharing your clever gathering workaround. It is such a good reminder to peek ahead in the instructions, yet your solution shows real creativity and perseverance. Cannot wait to see how this layered look turns out.

Oh no. I do not have a patience when it comes to some fabric. Glad that you have.

I actually like the lavender backing. It adds a touch of colour to the dress.

It will be done tomorrow for sure…and maybe the chandelier as well.

i love it! looks classy!

You are so creative. I can find solutions for problems most of the time, but when missing a piece of fabric, I might completely black out.

And a little thicker waist will not be so bad :winking_face_with_tongue:. It’s all very small. You’re doing great!

Oh, it’s so small and cute!

I’m looking forward to your progress tomorrow. Enjoy building. :blush:

Thanks so much…and I never meant anything bad about the thicker waist. I’ve been ‘body-shamed’ for being 90 pounds.

Oh, I didn’t mean anything bad about it either. I know the feeling, I even got body shamed by my ex :thinking:.

I just wanted to say that however the waist it, it will look beautiful :relieved_face:

That’s why he’s the EX, same for me. 17 years single now…but this only recently happened to me by an overweight person… and some just don’t get it. I never prayed to be as small as I am.

That truly is not okay. Nobody should make another person feel bad about themselves.

But I think lately people have opinions about everything and everyone and apparently the need to voice them out too :sweat_smile:

You’re a wonderful person @Nita_Davis so don’t let them get to you :face_blowing_a_kiss:

Thats a tiny waist :sweat_smile:

omg and I don’t know how to sew

That looks so delicate. Sewing at that scale is no joke! It’s coming along really nicely though! :smiling_face:

@Nita_Davis thats so tiny ! I look forward to your updates ! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
