Barefoot Sewing

I don't know about the rest of you seamstresses out there but I hate sewing with my shoes on. I prefer barefooted, socks or special crochet or knitted slippers. I recently purchased these adorable bunny slippers from CUTEurecreations. Here they are, now I can have happpy sewing feet!:
If you have little ones you need to check out her shop. She has the cutest hats, slippers and headbands. Here are a couple darling little numbers. Makes me want to learn to crochet! I admire the art of crochet and knitting. For those that know how to crochet she does offer patterns too!

    I used to exclusively sew barefoot. Then I started taking 6 different sewing classes and started sewing with shoes. At home if I step on pins, I know it's due to my own fault. However, in class I don't like the idea of walking around bare or sock footed. Not to mention we aren't supposed in the first place, mainly due to safety concerns. After forcing myself to sew with shoes on in class these past few years, I find that my ankle doesn't get tired as much from stepping on the peddle for long hours. The shoe offers more support, thereby, allowing me to sew for longer periods. So, I find there is a benefit gained from sewing with shoes.

Upcoming project for February

I have something different to do in February. I'm pretty excited to do a new design. These pictures are for inspiration. The main thing I need to capture is the ruched bodice and she wants some bling. The back will be a full back and I'm thinking fabric covered buttons instead of a zipper.   I ordered the below bling for the gown.

Completed PS I Love You Dress...I'm pretty happy

I love this dress so much! I need to make myself one. As you can tell from my picture I'm very happy with how it turned out. Front and back view on form: Can anyone find my mistake from my previous bodice post? It is unfortunate that a shop on Etsy has been using my blog and my reviews on patterns.com to list the same items as me. It is flattering but at the same time irritating especially when the same pictures are used. I really love sharing how I hack patterns, make my own pieces to create, recreate garments but at the same time I'm trying to run a business and giving away your secrets sometimes hurts. After all the work I did with this dress I found an actual pattern that would make this dress entirely except for the pockets. Message me if you just want to make this dress for yourself and I will give you the pattern number.
