When I lose the weight, I will make...

Ok, to be perfectly honest, part of the reason I don't make things for myself is that I dreaded thinking of all the yarn and time it would take to make something 2XL. So once I get down to my goal, I'd actually like to make some pretties for me.

I will be making the corset tank top in Regal Silk (even though it's not my favorite yarn to work with), and I definitely don't want to use any more of it than necessary.
Is there anything you'd like to make for yourself, once you get to your goal?

I love the corset tank top. I would love to see the finished project when you reach your goal. I want to make me a shrug . I agree making something for myself in a huge size would take forever and take too much yarn but i am only 15 lbs from my goal so soon I will be making things for myself......0

That's great!! I'm kind of the same way. My main thing with it though is that I don't want to have to sit and figure all the alterations. It looks so complicated, especially when you ad in different colors and stuff.0

The corset tank top is stunning! What a great motivator0

a crochet bikini...
I have the pattern in a book here... It's something like this though: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/becoming-bikini0 -
I just bookmarked that corset/tank top. That is gorgeous!
I have had this bookmarked for awhile. http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring09/PATTpioneer.php0 -
Go, LysieMae! I'd never have the courage to wear something like that. I am 34 though. :laugh:
ElyzahMoore, that's pretty. A Knitty pattern I really liked (but couldn't see knitting for my fat self) is Coachella.0 -
Haha! I found this dress and I think I might make this in a different color. I wouldn't wear it out, though. Just think it'd be something I could wear around my husband.

lucky husband ;-)
i like both projects. i just added them to my favs at rave0 -
^_^ I think so, too! *winks* Bow chica chica wow wow! ^_^ :P Haha! J/k with that part, but I really can't wait until I'm thin and feel confident enough wear something like that! I also need to get better at crocheting first. I figure by then I should be a total pro.0

A nice sweater out of good yarn, probably a cardigan as I have a beautiful fall plaid suit waiting for me to lose enough weight.0

k9hrd, I love the doggie in your avatar! German shepherd?0

I'll make every single Stephanie Japel pattern in Fitted Knits...0

Oooh, I like the Perfect Periwinkle top out of that book. I bought Fitted Knits, Sensual Knits and Knitting Lingerie Style in the hopes that I'd be able to make myself stuff out of them one day. But I also bought Big Girl Knits and More Big Girl Knits too. lol0

As I also sew in addition to knitting and crocheting I'll be making myself a whole new wardrobe. I even made up labels to put inside. The list my company as the JUST FOR ME BOUTIQUE. It's what I tell people when I wear something I've made and they ask where I got it. I just say, "At the Just for me Boutique." They ask where that is and I tell them, "Just north of my living room." :flowerforyou:
I've already bought some classic patterns for jackets, jeans, blouses and shirts. I'm also learning to make my own panties and bras. Looking forward to being able to buy some nice silk and make me an elegant blouses or shirts for a whole lot less. Just thinking of this makes me want to go and do another workout. :happy: I've started losing and that is something I thought was impossible.0 -
I will knit a bolero in fingering weight.0

A BIKINI! It's been on my to-do list forever.0

lol That's awesome. Pretty sure this body will never be in a bikini (knit/crocheted/or otherwise).0 -
I love them both!! I put the camisole in my favorites!! I hope that something like this would be in reach for me as something to wear once I lose some more weight. It's very cute!0
-
OH MY where do I start!!!! I see oh so many things and I just love Vogue magazine and can only wear a limited amount of the items. So maybe I will make a future list of patterns for motivation.0

I don't have a specific project in mind that I'd make - but as a designer I'd love to be able to do some of my own modelling for a change instead of having to ask skinny friends to do it for me. That's a real motivation for me!0
