Yoga Bag!

Yoga bag as belated birthday present for S is still in the making, but I made mine as I procrastinate from work...

I finished the hand-embroidered monogram for her bag.

In case you didn't know, the middle letter is actually the last initial. Crazy!


Also drew out the design...but it won't be made for another week or so :/ However, better late than never?

I made my bag in a completely different design than what I'm planning to make for S. I thought this version would be simpler, but it took me a bit of time [~3hrs due to lack of planning and design changes as I sewed]
It has pockets!!  

Hopefully my yoga mat will fit because I guess-timated on the measurements >.<

Wedding!

My cousin is getting married this weekend and the dress I bought for the occasion is perfect...except for the sleeve. It is a one-shoulder dress, but the one shoulder is wide and unflattering. I took apart the entire arm-hole and made it larger for my super buff arms ;]

SO. WIDE. UGH. You can actually see where my shoulder attaches to my body!

As for the back of the dress...

 

Woop woop! Now the dress has space for my arm to actually move! Can't wait for the wedding :)

EDIT: Pic with one of my cousins at the wedding reception.


You can't see the rest of the dress, but trust me, it was gorgeous :]
