Okay. Who here knows how to sew? Come on, speak up. There has to be someone. I will owe you my STILL BEATING HEART. Or, y'know, a present of some kind.


I know, not the best sketch ever, but, well, it gets the point across. I really, really, REALLY want to make that outfit, but I don't even know one end of a needle from the other until I poke myself with it. And then I get blood all over. It's just not good. All I know of sewing comes from that one scene in Cinderella where the mice are making her dress for the ball, which, hey, might not be entirely useful as I am neither six inches tall nor do I have a lot of mousey friends.

Anyway. Can anyone point me in a direction or give me some tips? I don't want to be, like, the next Project Runway contestant, I just want to make my own clothes fit right. Child-bearing hips, people--apparently the clothing industry does NOT like them. :(


PS OMG YES I WILL HAVE THE CW!!! *EXCITED FACE*

Eh. My Grandmother can sew (randomly, she made my prom dress and it was gorgeous) but the one time I had to make a dress for a class in high school. Well. It was horrible. One sleeve was so big it wouldn't stay on my shoulder and the other was to small. Plus the hem was just. My teacher laughed when she saw it. Lucky for me she graded on effort because I would have failed. But I kicked ass on the interior decorating part.

I watched that CW thing last night after 7th Heaven only I missed the first part of it and it makes me cry! DX But I'm all excited! A week from Thursday! *glee*

Good luck with the making of clothes. I really like the top, yo. The way it curves down? Sexy.

*laughs* I've known about the CW because it's going to be the same channel as the WB here. Which I'm glad for because I'm unbelievable lazy and would hate to have to hunt for it. Which I would make my mom do anyway.

*stuffs dollar bills down your top*
