DIY: Skirts for the Fall

The cool weather is upon us and I'm excited about making a couple dozen (More like 4 or 5) skirts for the season. I have been neglecting my sewing machine since the beginning of Spring when I made my favorite/over worn maxi dress.


Youtube has been my inspiration, as always, finding some very useful ideas and such. I think I'm going to make a couple maxi skirts, a couple circle skirts, and possibly another pencil skirt. I may even make a maxi dress with long sleeves since I LOVE dresses..

Here's a link to some of my favorite Youtube videos on DIY sewing clothing projects. 

Pictures will be coming as soon as I start/finish said pieces.

Anxiety attacks....

Back in late 2010 while I was in NY, on the train, going to meet my sister for lunch.. I had a panic attack. A couple weeks later when I was back home, I had an anxiety attack after a interview. I tried to explain what happened to me to either my mother or sister and neither one of them seemed to understand. Then they were coming more and more and I couldn't understand why. I didn't feel anxious about anything, but I guess internally I was.

Jump to this year. I had a couple anxiety attacks due to the fact that I am a people pleaser who is currently getting dicked with helping people. I find myself being anxious about the future and something as simple as wanting to do my hair and not having the funds to make it happen. I've looked up ways to deal with anxiety attacks, and so far nothing helps. If I had medical insurance, I would definitely make it my point to go see a therapist; but since I don't, blogging & talking to certain people shall be my therapy sessions.
