some stuff i made recently

so this blog has been 'undeleted'

after a long debate (with my myself), and being haunted over and over about things i really wanna do, i'm getting back to sewing. and i think i'm mighty proud to say that i've gone pretty far from the last post (April). i reconciled with Gherma, my sewing machine. i have learned so much about her and what we can do together for the past two months. but this time, i'm sewing for the small ones. not kids, though. but dolls. i loved dolls. i had different kinds when i was a kid, and i'd make them wardrobe of their own. sewing for the little ones ain't easy though. the tiny details, the supposedly skilled hands to control all your moves (or reduce your moves 1/6) is testing my patience, as well as keeping the passion alive. you see, your imagination, or creativity, if it's not materialized, will feel like a puss in you. throbbing, shouting, burning from inside, makes you weak. but if you let it out, make something out of that idea, you feel good, especially if you see what you intend to see. but, see, there goes the problem. if you don't have the skills to materialize all that, there's never gonna be a cure for this pain inside. that's what stopped me then. because i didn't get to know Gherma enough. i just assumed i just can't sew, or my sewing machine is one basic model for housewives to mend their torn aprons with. but no, she is actually perfect for me. and  i know we can do beautiful things together. yup! i will be posting pictures of my creations with my muses (got me a couple Momoko dolls last month, and the Barbie i bought last year has finally come out of the dusty closet) in the near future. i hope to make new outfits for them each month. im that slow still so be patient :) till next time!

i know i have totally ignored this blog. for so long. could you even consider this a blog? a titled, but empty one? i had been busy with other things, and trying to keep myself out of trouble, but hell yeah, there's not enough space to make me explain this mess. okay, so let me just type away this weird feeling. i felt like i bore a child and left it at some spooky street hoping it's still alive when i return. whew, enough of this self-pity (and get things done before the beau arrives from work).

i had been sewing some stuff, even before i registered this blog. yeah. and even after the registration, i made a few, some finished, some waiting for me to pick up and finally give me the sense of accomplishment i expected when i'm done. pillow cases for family and friends, home stuff, an unfinished sundress, a muslin romper... i know. i know i had to finish it. the muslin turned out good, really. and to think i made my own pattern for that. the shorts part it my bottom well. and now i saw a nice halter dress in vogue's april issue and i've been itching to make it from my ignored fabrics. i know i had to do something.

okay. no more of this. im going to do things. make them. and eventually, write about them afterwards.

Until next time.
