Gold Striped Sparkle Top

According to net-a-porter, it’s totally ok to have shoulder seams on clothes that don’t actually match up to your shoulders. PHEW. Sewing sleeves is my least favorite part about sewing. If shoulder seams can exist somewhere in the middle of my oh-so-untoned arm, I’m a happy fashionable girl.

I started out with this gold striped xxl top that I acquired from a thrift shop.

I turned it inside out and pinned it to myself. By pinned it to myself, I mean I pinned around myself. I could have said that the first time, or the 2nd time, since I’m typing this in an editable writing program. But I didn’t. You’ll find out why soon.* Check it out! Almost exactly the same picture with pins you can sort of see.

I sewed that shit up and cut off the excess fabric. I have a lot of excess fabric. I need to figure out what to do with the excess fabric. What should I do with the excess fabric.

Quit Playing Games with my Heart

There’s this song that is plays on the radio called “Burning Up” by my good friend Nick Carter of BSB and/or NKOTBSB fame. That has really nothing to do with this post, except the title maybe. Because Quit Playing Games with my Heart is a BSB song.

I got a picture frame in this super awesome box and totally had the intention of gluing hearts to it straightaway. So here we are, 6 months later with this box of hearts still floating around my apartment, like my love life!

Tonight, I decided to GET INSPIRED and do what I had been planning in my brain for months. I turned on my Hulu Q and started watching New Girl and gluing pages from A Regency Trio, whatever that is.

It’s covered! WHEE!!! Omg I am so sleepy. I stayed up really late yesterday to finish the first Hunger Games book, and I’m like OMG KATNISS+PEETA OTP OTP. WHERE CAN I ACQUIRE THE SECOND BOOK, AMAZON PROBABLY.

Then, I glued the hearts to it. Cute, right? If it were Valentine’s Day, and I had a Valentine, I would give this to myself. Because I am the best lover I’ve ever had.

Hearts hearts hearts hearts hearts hearts EVERYBODY.
