theladyrebeccaThe Daisy dress was finished in time to do a super quick photoshoot last Wed. Up until Tues night, I had really been thinking I wasn't going to get in done in time to film/shoot it for the reveal video I was set to release last week. So that was a relief. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, and it photographs pretty wonderfully. Instagram seemed pretty excited about it. :)
I guess I should say, I didn't actually finish it by the shoot, but all it needed was closures put on waistbands, and for the ribbon and daisies on the shoulders to be sewn on, instead of pinned. I have since done all that, so now it is completely finished.
So now I am working on a pattern test for a new Scroop / Virgil's Fine Goods pattern, which I can't really share anything about on social media yet. Which is so weird for me! I've done two mockups of the bodice, plus one sleeve mockup. The sleeve mockup still needs alterations, but I'd rather go back to the sleeve mockup once I've put together the actual bodice, since that's what I normally do anyway. So the outer fabric of the bodice, which is that white ikea duvet with the little red flowers, is getting cut out today.
I'm hoping this project will go relatively quickly, so that I can get back to things I can vlog about (I'm posting a filler video in lieu of a vlog next week). I'm torn, though, because I really want to redo all my sewing/fabric organization, but now it's cold and I also want to make the 1890s bicycle sweater. Plus, I have way too much fabric for that sweater, and I can hopefully sell everything left over and therefore won't need it taking up space in my organization plans. That makes sense, right?
I also took advantage / got taken advantage of one of fabricmartfabric's sales last month. I bought 6 yds of silk crepe-back satin for $10 yd and 5 yds of rayon challis in a christmas plaid for $3.99/yd. After ordering, I realized that rayon challis was not what I wanted, despite how perfect the plaid was, and when it arrived, I realized the silk was very much not what I wanted either. I've already sold the silk off, and will probably attempt to sell the rayon as well, but I want to go to Joanns first, and see if I can find a similar plaid in a better fabric, because I want to make a 50s style Christmas dress after the bicycle sweater.
Youtube-wise, things are going pretty well. My subscriber count is growing super slowly, but I was able to increase my revenue a little bit in Oct vs Sept (I made $240 in Oct), so that was nice. Nowhere near the increase from Aug - Sept, but as long as it keeps growing, I'll be happy. My other goal is to reach 4000 subscribers by the end of the year, which I think will be a close race, but should hopefully happen. I'm also hoping to reach 10k on instagram by the end of the year.
