Streetlight Manifesto just came through Dallas for what they claim will be their final tour together. I discovered streetlight during the dark days after the breakup with my high school sweetheart and ever since the band has held a special place of honor in my heart and I'm my cd collection. We've made it through a shit ton of good times, and of course many more breakups together; (my ex-bff even bro-dumped me at a streetlight concert because I wouldn't leave when she wanted me too, but that's a long and boring story you don't wanna hear.)
Point is, streetlight means a lot to me. And so I wanted to do something special for this farewell send off concert. What I finally came up with was this awesome dress. The pattern is the Sisboom Angie dress but I widened the sash to hold a secret pouch because I knew I wouldn't want to be carrying my purse to the pit. The sash is also stitched on in the middle to keep it from shifting. The Streetlight on the back was easy to make, I attached the pieces to heat n bond, ironed them on and then zig-zag stitched the edges.
And that was that! My brother was also wearing a Sisboom pattern (the Marco) that I whipped up for him. The concert was amazing except it made me realize how completely out of shape I am. Where one this girl could spend an entire evening skanking in the pit, in my old age I lasted a whole three songs. Oh well! I'm gonna go do some cardio now so I can get into shape before the reunion tour. :-P
I love all of you,
-Elizabeth
