Dance dress and workout gear

Wow… it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. It’s been super busy and I have not had time to do anything that I enjoy like hand crafts. Yesterday, I was able to plug back in (briefly) to make a quick bag for my shower shoes that I wear to the gym.

Currently, I’m trying to decide if I really want to go through the demands of making a dress for my daughter’s dance on Friday, or just buying something. Yes… the dance is THIS FRIDAY! Ulp… Technically, I could do it, but I honestly don’t know if I want to even do it now. The dress would have been finished by now, but there is so much going on in the real world. I’ve been making myself available to a friend that’s hurting and when I’m not with my daughter, that has taken a ton of time, just to be the person they can come to and the shoulder they can lean on and cry.

Moving on to workout gear… I really need to make some for myself. I haven’t made workout gear before,  but I have made outfits out of knits and lycra, and I do have the machines (Serger and Coverstitch) that make the process much easier, so the only thing left to do is make those outfits.

See the above outfit, I usually wear something like that when I work out. You know, I still workout in some of the same clothing I did in my twenties. I guess that’s sad, and impressive that I’m still wearing the same clothing.

Looking online, I saw this. See, it’s the same as the first, but color blocking has been introduced. Oh, how I adore color blocking. I like that a lot. I’m hoping to start sewing a few gym outfits within the next few weeks. I’m petite, size 4. I workout several times weekly, so yeah…. it’s high time I upgrade my wardrobe, and I will. Next year, I will be competing in Figure competitions, and I think I’ll design my outfits for those events also.

Here’s hoping that things calm down for me, and more importantly my friend, if you’re the praying type, say a prayer for them, ok?
