Recent Projects

I've been doing a few different things in terms of sewing, lately. One of my favorite projects I've done recently is a set of shirts for a Gamma Phi Beta Big/Little Reveal here on campus. I made a shirt for their newest addition, as well as her Big, GBig and GAunt. It was a really fun project where I got to do some improvisation, so I'm really happy with the result!

I know that Delaware is this mysterious state no one seems to know about unless they're familiar with incorporation law or tax-free shopping, but that's the state of Delaware on the shirt if you haven't figured it out. 

I also made a set of monogrammed pocket tees for the same reveal, which are classic and classy. 

Big/Little Week is in full swing for my sorority, with Activation of our new members happening in a week and a half, so I'll be in all-out sewing mode this coming weekend. As I move forward I've been able to refine my products and up my quality, so I can't ask for much more.

There will be many more pictures and items for my next post, and maybe even a tutorial. It's been too long since I wrote one, so I'm thinking a pocket-tee tutorial will be coming your way!

If you haven't already, visit me on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/madebymeagana) and shoot me a message if you're interested in a custom order. I promise my shop doesn't normally look that empty but everyone bought me out, so that's a good thing!

Until next time.

Graduation Cap!

Update: I've seen sooooooooo many different recreations of my graduation cap at other schools! I almost wish I hadn't posted a picture so I could have kept it all for myself, but I'm glad I could serve as some inspiration. In my mind, I always did it first. :)

Let's just say I'm absolutely obsessed with my graduation cap! University of Delaware's graduation is just 6 weeks away, but I had an entire day of free time so I decided to do some decorating. Needless to say I'm in love. I freehanded it completely from my own imagination.

The process was pretty simple. My cap was really wrinkly on top and it almost seemed like there was too much fabric for it to lay flat. I went underneath my cap and hot glued the fabric a little tighter so I had a smooth surface! Everything else was just done by some hand drawing with a white colored pencil, acrylic paints and a steady hand! It takes a lot of layers of acrylic paint to show up vibrantly on the cap, so make sure you take that into consideration!

I can't believe graduation is so soon. Gahhhhhh.
