yeah...this is the very first top I EVER made...lol Yikes...i wanna say its on my lady crooked but i dunno...it looks pretty bad from here...there was bleach spilled on the straps in the back and all...its all wrinkled and messy lol...such pride in the early work! i thought you would all enjoy these pics...
I made it about 6 or 7 years ago Its funny that I have held on to it for so long..It got thrown in a heap of fabric.. I remember sewing with my mom when i was a kid...I also remember when I was 19 I wanted to make my boy a patchy backpack for his birthday. So I cut out all the patches and started hand sewing it...then I realized it was gonna take ages so i busted my ma's machine out... I started making all kinds of lil crystal bags n lil purses n more patchy backpacks.....lol...i was a maniac from the start...all my friends had em...then i just got bored and stopped... then a couple years later....and a few thousand miles...I met Cre n we got all crafty and had a ghetto lil business of hemp jewelry and crocheted tams...oh and hairwrapping when we could be bothered to get our asses out...I remember a lil sewing then but not so much good stuff....loads of hair scrunchies tho...haha... then a couple more years later..lol..cre discovers mama selling their wares on ebay...n thats when i became the crackhead i am today... I took a few years off to move back to Cali and be a corporate slave, bringing home some bacon... so that, in a very large and rambling nutshell...is how long ive been sewing... sheesh im a windbag when stoned...
Ahh the good ole days. ((cry)) The first 'dress' I made, I came across a few months ago. I cut it to pieces because it had some rockin corduroy panels. Can't even remember the first top..
I remember when My things look like that... But you only learn how to master something with practice.. You have come a long way... But It was very good for a first!!!!
