52 weeks, 52 dresses.

Hello! I just answered a good handful of messages privately, but sorry to those I haven’t gotten back to yet! Anon questions were really starting to build up so I’m just gonna go ahead and answer these in one collective post. (click the picture to zoom in if needed). These are variations of the most frequently asked questions currently in my inbox, but feel free to send me a message if you have any more questions!

1. I started two years ago when I got a sewing machine for my birthday (or christmas… i can’t really remember) & just figured things out for myself. I also ended up taking a fabric arts class when I was in high school.
2. Thank you! Unfortunately I’ve noticed that I tend to improvise dress designs along the way. Especially with the t-shirt to dress designs. As much as I’d love to share how-tos, it’s a little tough considering I don’t like to remake or retry my designs. (I don’t have that much time to spare) :/ (answer copied & pasted straight from my FAQ)
3. Ahh thank you! Refer to answer 2.
4. I learned by myself at home!
5. Why are you yelling at me, anon ): but thank you!
6. The @ronpalustre type of guy… or Adam Levine. Mmph.
7. Thank you! I learned at home in front of some machine I thought hated me.
8. It actually varies. Most of these dresses I make without drawing out any certain design. I’ve always found fabric that ends up begging me to make it into something & go with that inspiration. Basic process would probably go like.. Shop for fabric. Awkwardly talk to fabric (outloud or in my head). Buy it. Set up my table & sewing machine. Cut pieces that would possibly make something. Sew and be surprised. 
9. Jo-Ann’s is the only store I can easily get to, but I have gone to Discount Fabrics with some other designer friends!
10. Hahaha, I’ll try! However, I’m missing a few of them because I either sold them or they were made for other people.
11. For almost all of these dress designs, I don’t use patterns. I based a lot of the fabric pieces on dresses I’ve seen before and my own measurements. (I’ve used patterns for weeks like my sister’s halloween special) I have also used patterns for other projects though, like a few dresses for my little sister (: (this answer was also from my FAQ)
12. Ahh! Thank you so much for the support! @abeeebeee was super fun to do that challenge with. She’s an amazing designer!
