no pattern batwing/dolman sleeve top
Heyhey,
so I got a wish to do a dolman/batwing sleeve top without a pattern. I hope I understood it right and this is what was hoped for. 
I normally work with patterns, because I like to reuse them… if you draw directly on fabric you have to draw on every time you want to do a similar garment. Anyhow I hope you like my idea… I certainly like the finished garment
more tank tops
Heyhey,
finally finished my other tank-tops, sorry I kept you waiting. The pattern is the same as the other tank-top . For this one I also made a video, since half of you voted for a video-tutorial. You can still vote for the next tutorial/project here. I will start with the project with the most votes tomorrow
new fabrics and when I finally get you new tutorials
Heyhey,
so they keep me busy but wednesday to sunday I should have for free and will finally get you that tanktop-tutorial and start on new ones. You can still vote for the first I start with here. I will be so happy to finally get back in front of my sewing machine!
I managed to buy some more fabrics on one of my scheduled tours. I am still in my 70s-phase, so they are brown and orange 
I bought some ripped jersey for sleeve-cuffs and waistbands and some cord fabrics. Because I really like wearing them and they also fit in the 70s. what material you prefer to be your pants made from? I love denim, but cord even more.

what keeps me from sewing:( and weekly challenge 6: sing
heyhey,
I am mostly back to my positive self, even though it does not help, that I have so much stuff to do at the moment, that I don’t have time left for sewing, and I really miss it. And I do not want to do the other stuff but anyhow, next week will be stressful, too, but I plan to sew in a any free minute and hopefully I will finish my other tanktops soon, since you voted 50/50 for a tank-top-video-tutorial, I gonna do one for the new tank tops and hope that helps everyone. I finished 2 in some breaks in between already and will show you my stylings if I wear them even though the tutorial is still in waiting.
Now about the challenge for this week: What always makes me happy and energetic is putting on music I like a little louder then normal and singing along. and I cant sing… well not very well, I played a lot instruments and hear wrong tunes, and singing I produce a lot of them, but if you are alone… who cares? So if you have a great voice or not just try it when feeling down, or like you need a boost for me it makes even doing the dishes bearable. Let me know which songs work best for you! And don’t forget to vote for the next project and tutorial, I’ll start after finishing the tank-tops.
Even though I do not have much time at the moment I will answer your comments and questions about anything sewing-fashion-related within a day.
