Feeling a little better...... Old passion on the forefront!

Hello all my lovelies! Assalamu Alaikum!
Today I'm feeling much better! Or, atleast I'm telling myself that. Gotta keep a positive attitude!
I miss my Insanity workouts! I've decided that if I feel up to it, I'm going to start tomorrow, which will be a week since my last workout.
Also, my love of sewing has been brewing for a couple of days now. I think it was all the sewing I did in preparation for last Monday's party. The only problem is that I don't have a sewing machine. I was told by a friend that SEARS has a layaway, so I have two options: to buy the $99.99 Basic 18-Stitch Simple Sewing Machine shown below...(this would really just be settling based on my funds)

Or I can put the sewing machine that I really want (shown below) on Layaway. This is a Brother Sewing Machine SC6600, which is $169.99.

*sigh* decisions, decisions. I think I'm going to just try and save my money instead of dealing with a layaway.... Money is so tight, and I want to seeeeew!

I love the idea of at least 50% of my wardrobe being handmade! And I have so many ideas! There are two projects that I really want to try.

***My 1st Project: Harem Pants (Complete)

I took a trip to Morroco, and fell in love with the genie/harem pants that were there! Unfortunately I couldn't find the time to buy them, and  that was about 3 years ago! Here in the states, it's hard to find exactly what I want, so I have decided to take on the challenge of making them myself :)

Here are the pants that I want to make:

They look pretty simple right? They look so comfortable, and I would looooove to have them in a variety of colors and patterns!

***My 2nd Project: Super Wide Legged Pants

When I was younger, my mother bought me an outfit that had pants with legs so wide they flowed and fluttered like a skirt. I have yet to actually find a pair like them, and have decided to make my own

I would actually like the pant legs to be even wider than these! I don't even want there to be a clue that they are pants!

So there you have it, my aspirations for when I get a sewing machine, so I can get started on my 50% handmade wardrobe.

Take care all my lovelies! Stay safe out there! It's snowing really hard in some places!
