I have in my possession a "book" of lolita tutorials. There are at least 5 different skirts, two ways to alter a shirt, how to alter a cardigan, one JSK, one OP and various accessories. I plan to tackle the 5 skirts, a JSK (maybe an OP if I can get the pattern I made right...), some shirt alterations, a few cardigans/sweaters and the nightgown done before I go back to school. Helps that I have nothing to do till the 28th except get my learner's permit...
In any event, there are some steps I need to complete before the sewing begins:
Step One--The Cleansing of Music: I lost my library a few days a go because I synced my hard drive to NOTHING. I had deleted my music off of my computer after I saved it to my hard drive, then I synced it again...Anyway, yesterday I downloaded a bucket load of Visual Kei and I'm in the process of weeding out the songs I don't like and adding the ones I really, really like to my shuffle. I'm almost in the middle...
Step Two--The Purification of Rooms: There is a lot of stuff on my floor...fabric, clothes, my bed...It all needs to be cleared away before I can start sewing as I need to fit a table and chair in here...
Step Three--The Search Begins: After showering, getting dressed, and probably having some food, I need to go out and find the shirts and the material to make the skirts and dresses. Ideally, I'd know how much lace I'd want and how I'd want to alter said shirts, but that probably won't happen. What probably will happen is that I go and find the shirts and take a piece of paper with me so I can do a mock up of the shirt and how I'd want to lolify it. Then it's over to JoAnne's for lace, zippers, thread and fabric for skirts.
Step Four--Boss Fight: I'm getting cheesecake...Then going back home to sew, sew, sew!
My mom says I'd make myself sick if I did this all in one day. And surely, I won't have the patience to make all the skirts and dresses and alter all the shirts I'd want to in a day, but once I'm done with my music and I've cleared up my floor, I'm off to find things. Wish me luck!
You'll be happy to know that I also entered a contest to meet Hakuei from Penicillin! I'll find out if I win on the 6th and update accordingly. I also applied to work at BSSB and when I go to the opening, I'm taking a resume for them and to BPN. Pray to the gods that I get in!
