1. I got the new camera I’d been saving up for. I’m now the owner of a Canon Powershot G9. I’ve gone out and done some test shots to get used to it, but since my computer is in the shop right now, I can’t post ‘em yet. Joel’s computer doesn’t [...]

1. My sister is coming to visit me today (so I took the day off from work) and she’s going to try on the wedding dress I’ve been making for her. I’m excited to see her and to see how this dress looks on. She’s also bringing her young son Max, who is [...]

I am still sewing like a madwoman. Today’s count includes half of a suit jacket and most of a skirt (waistband and hem pending)
The half finished jacket, with the skirt I started yesterday (no, I haven’t finished stitching down the appliques yet…I wanted to test out this jacket pattern, because it is an experiment).
Here [...]

More photos and detailed images can be found here.
I totally lost interest in the other suit I was making, so it sits on my modern dummy, mocking me. The skirt is lined, but not hemmed. The jacket lining is halfway put together but not installed, nor are the buttonholes and buttons done. [...]

Heh. So, remember that orange blouse I posted a few weeks ago? Turns out I had scanned the pattern envelope a while back. So, here’s a picture of the original rendition of it, from 1948. I think I am going to make up the cap-sleeved version of it sometime. That [...]

a big legged woman ain’t got no soul” Whether or not I’ve got a soul is well up for debate, but a pair of big legs I most certainly have, thanks to German heritage and a bicycling addiction.
I’m making myself a new pair of jeans. I had a pattern that seemed to have [...]

We had the first organizational meeting for the fashion show last night and it was…interesting.
It’s basically going to be like a 2-hour-long performance arts binge with fashion stuff thrown into the mix. Modern dance. Fire spinners. Unicyclists. Acrobats. Wearable sculpture. Rollerskaters. Apparently, there’s going to be a kinetic fabric [...]

Totally out of nowhere, I was just invited to participate in a local fashion show at the Fringe Festival. This guy I talked to for about half an hour two years ago remembered me and my weirdass clothes and thought my stuff would be great for the show he’s getting together. Apparently his [...]

I’m making some new pants. I’ve been looking sad and raggedy for months, and working on other people’s shit, and I finally got my slate clear and cut out a new pair of pants yesterday. I’ve got the fronts stitched together, the fly in and pockets on, and I’ve prepped all the rest [...]

I tried on this jacket on Saturday, for shits and giggles, and my GAWD, I haven’t tried on anything so flattering since this one time I was trying on Betsey Johnson dresses for a lark and hit upon one which was disgustingly perfect.
I’ve totally got to make something like this for myself. Idiot that [...]
