Final Project for School

Hello Everyone,

It has been far to long since I late posted. I have been fervently working away on my final project for school and next Wednesday I am going to present it to the class. The assignment was to choose a musical and PUNKAFIE it. We then had to choose 4 characters from the show and make them different types of punk, and then from that we had to realize 1 of the sketches on a 1/2 scale model. I chose "Jekyll and Hyde" and my punk genres are Victorian Goth(Emma), Steampunk(Jekyll), Vampire Goth(Hyde), and Raver Punk(Lucy). On the 1/2 scale I am creating Emma's Engagement Dress and I will hopefully have pictures up soon. Until then have a good evening.

Fashion through the ages

Hit a few bumps...

Progress on the dress has not been going very good... I have been working on it almost everyday, but a couple of problems have arose >.<

The main problem I am having is the decorative triangular hip points that don't want to sit properly when attached to the bodice. I have changed the pattern slightly and have re-cut it so hopefully it will work this time (and if it doesn't I have to buy more fabric).

I hope to have progress pictures up by the weekend, so until then have a wonderful week.

ps: Happy Leap Year ^_^

Princess Dress so far

I really didn't get much done this week(visited with family instead), but I thought I would

share what I did.

Because I am drafting the "Princess Pattern" I have been a little crazy about double checking all my measurements and so it is taking longer then usual.

As you can see it already looks like a familiar Princess ^_^

My plans are to finish up the dress tomorrow or monday and have it ALL ready for my niece when she comes to visit next weekend :)

More pictures to follow soon :D

Reading Break

Reading break has started and so I plan to get some photos up soon of my progress so far on the Sleeping Beauty dress.

I would like to know what your plans are for new projects?

Have a good weekend :D

Happy Valentines

I hope Everyone is having a wonderful day

I finally have a photo of the fabric for the dress I am making for my niece, and here it is :)

Beauty and the Beast

I saw Beauty and the Beast live yesterday and is was absolutely AMAZING!!! The entire cast was fabulous, the illusions were awesome, and the costumes and set design were gorgeous. The whole show made me truly realize how much I miss the stage.

As much as I love to sew and design and create, the stage has always been the place where I want to be. The thrill of performing in front of a live audience is something you can't find anywhere else. You can't know what is feels like unless you have done it before, it is a wonderful, magical feeling.

That being said, I don't have any updates on my current costumes, but I have added another to the list. One of my nieces loves Sleeping Beauty and so as a Birthday gift to her I am going to sew the Pink Sleeping Beauty dress.

Pictures will follow soon.

Until then, have a magical week ✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*
